حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ إِسْحَقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ کِنَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي أَمِيرٌ مِنْ الْأُمَرَائِ إِلَی ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَائِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ مَا مَنَعَهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَنِي قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَوَاضِعًا مُتَبَذِّلًا مُتَخَشِّعًا مُتَرَسِّلًا مُتَضَرِّعًا فَصَلَّی رَکْعَتَيْنِ کَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدِ وَلَمْ يَخْطُبْ خُطْبَتَکُمْ هَذِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1266
It was narrated from Hisham bin Ishaq bin 'Abdullah bin Kinanah that his father said: “One of the chiefs sent me to Ibn ‘Abbâs to ask him about the prayer for rain. Ibn ‘Abbâs said: ‘What kept han from asking me?’ He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H went out humbly, walking with a humble and moderate gait, imploring, and he performed two Rak’ah as he used to pray for ‘Eid, but he did not give a sermon like this sermon of yours.” (Hasan)
