Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 8565 — Those who said: no prayer is performed
٨٥٦٥ - (حدثنا وكيع) (١) قال: ثنا سفيان عن مطرف عن الشعبي أن عمر بن الخطاب خرج يستسقي فصعد المنبر فقال: ﴿فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا (١٠) يُرْسِلِ ⦗٣٢٣⦘ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْرَارًا (١١) وَيُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْهَارًا﴾ [نوح: ١٠ - ١٢]، ﴿اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا﴾، ثم نزل فقالوا: يا أمير المؤمنين لو استسقيت فقال: لقد طلبته (بمجاديح) (٢) السماء التي يستنزل بها (القطر) (٣) (٤).
Al-Sha'bi said: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) went out to pray for rain. He climbed the pulpit and recited these verses: "(And I said:) Ask forgiveness of your Lord; indeed, He is ever Forgiving. He will send down rain from the sky upon you in abundance, and give you increase in wealth and sons, and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers." [Surah Nuh: 10-12], "Ask forgiveness of your Lord; indeed, He is ever Forgiving." Then he came down from the pulpit. The people said: "O Commander of the Believers, it would have been good if you had prayed for rain!" Sayyiduna Umar said: "I have sought it from the place from which the rain comes down."
