Chapter on the description of the prayer for rain, its sermon, and reciting aloud in it
Hadith 2926
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا يَسْتَسْقِي وَصَلَّى بِنَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِلَا أَذَانٍ وَلَا إِقَامَةٍ ثُمَّ خَطَبَنَا وَدَعَا اللَّهَ وَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ نَحْوَ الْقِبْلَةِ رَافِعًا يَدَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَلَّبَ رِدَاءَهُ فَجَعَلَ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْأَيْسَرِ وَالْأَيْسَرَ عَلَى الْأَيْمَنِ
Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once went out to pray for rain, and without giving the adhan or iqamah, he led us in two rak‘ahs. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us, supplicated to Allah Almighty, turned his face towards the qiblah while his hands were raised, then turned his cloak inside out, placing the right side on the left and the left side on the right.
Hadith 2927
عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَيْدٍ الْمَازِنِيَّ يَقُولُ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى وَاسْتَسْقَى وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ حِينَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: وَبَدَأَ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ الْخُطْبَةِ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَدَعَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid Mazni (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out towards the Eid ground, prayed for rain, and when he faced the Qiblah, he turned his cloak inside out. Ishaq, in his narration, said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began with the prayer before the sermon, then turned towards the Qiblah and supplicated.
Hadith 2928
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ يَسْتَسْقِي فَوَلَّى ظَهْرَهُ النَّاسَ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ وَجَعَلَ يَدْعُو وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَجَهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ (وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فَاسْتَسْقَى وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ حِينَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ
It is also narrated from his uncle (Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zaid Mazni, may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was present with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he went out to ask for rain and turned his back towards the people and stood facing the Qiblah and turned his cloak, then he began to supplicate, then he led two units of prayer and recited aloud in them. (It is narrated from another chain) He says: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went out towards the Eid ground, he supplicated for rain, and when he faced the Qiblah, he turned his cloak.
Hadith 2929
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ يَسْتَسْقِي فَوَلَّى ظَهْرَهُ النَّاسَ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ وَجَعَلَ يَدْعُو وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَجَهَرَ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ (وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فَاسْتَسْقَى وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ حِينَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ

Hadith 2930
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ مُتَخَشِّعًا مُتَضَرِّعًا مُتَوَاضِعًا مُتَبَذِّلًا مُتَرَسِّلًا فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدِ لَمْ يَخْطُبْ كَخُطْبَتِكُمْ هَٰذِهِ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out in a state of fear, supplicating earnestly, showing humility, wearing old clothes, and walking with pauses. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in two units of prayer like the Eid prayer, and he did not deliver a sermon like your sermon.
