أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ کِنَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَائِ فَقَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَبَذِّلًا مُتَوَاضِعًا مُتَضَرِّعًا فَجَلَسَ عَلَی الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمْ يَخْطُبْ خُطْبَتَکُمْ هَذِهِ وَلَکِنْ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي الدُّعَائِ وَالتَّضَرُّعِ وَالتَّکْبِيرِ وَصَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ کَمَا کَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1513
It was narrated from Hisham bin Ishaq bin ‘Abdullah bin Kinanah that his father said: “I asked Ibn ‘Abbas how the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم prayed for rain. He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم :, went out (dressed) in a state of humility, beseeching and humble. He sat on the Minbar but he did not deliver a Khutbah like this Khutbah of yours, rather he kept supplicating, beseeching and saying the Takbir, and he prayed two Rak’ahs as he used to do during the two ‘Eids.” (Hasan)
