أخبرنا أبو زكريا يحيى بن محمد العَنبري، حدثنا الحسن بن علي بن نَصْر، حدثنا الزُّبير بن بكّار، حدثني ساعدةُ بن عُبيد الله المُزَني، عن داود بن عطاء المَدَني، عن زيد بن أسلم، عن ابن عمر، أنه قال: استسقى عمرُ بن الخطاب عام الرَّمَادة بالعباس بن عبد المُطّلب، فقال: اللهم هذا عمُّ نَبيِّك نَتوجَّه إليك به، فاسْقِنا، فما برحُوا حتى سقاهُم اللهُ، قال: فخطَبَ عمرُ الناس، فقال: أيُّها الناسُ، إنَّ رسول الله ﷺ كان يرى للعباس ما يرى الولدُ لوالده، يُعظِّمُه ويُفخِّمُه، ويَبَرُّ قَسَمَه، فاقتَدُوا أَيُّها الناس برسول الله ﷺ في عمِّه العباس، واتخِذُوه وسيلة إلى الله ﷿ فيما نَزَل بكم (2). ذكرُ مناقب عبد الله بن الأرقم ﵁ -
Zayd bin Aslam narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: In the Year of al-Ramadah (the year of famine), Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) sought rain through the means of Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him), and made this supplication: 'Allahumma hadha ammu nabiyyika natawajjahu ilayka bihi, fasqina' (O Allah, this is the uncle of Your Prophet; through him we turn to You (taking him as a means), so give us rain). The narrator says: They had not yet left that place when Allah Almighty gave them rain. The narrator says: Then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) addressed the people and said: "O people! Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) the same standing that a son gives his father; he (peace and blessings be upon him) honoured and revered him and fulfilled his oaths. So, O people, you too follow the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with regard to his uncle Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), and when any calamity befalls you, make him a means (wasilah) before Allah Almighty."

(2) خبر حسن بهذه السياقة إن شاء الله، وهذا إسناد ضعيف لضعف داود بن عطاء، وجهالة ساعدة ابن عُبيد الله المزني، وقد رُوي هذا الخبر بنحو روايتهما من طريق أخرى أحسن من هذه عن زيد بن أسلم وابن إسحاق عمن حدثهما عن ابن عباس، وإسناده حسن لولا إبهام راويه عن ابن عباس، ولقصة الاستسقاء لكن دون خطبة عمر طريق ثالثة عن زيد بن أسلم عن أبيه، وفيها مقالٌ، غير أنه بمجموع هذه الطرق الثلاث يمكن تحسين خبر زيد بن أسلم، ويكون لزيد بن أسلم فيه أكثر من شيخ كما أشار إليه الحافظ ابن حجر في "فتح الباري" 4/ 119، والله تعالى أعلم.
Grading: (2) This report is "hasan" with this wording, if Allah wills, although this chain is da'if because of the weakness of Dawud bin 'Ata' and the unknown status of Sa'idah bin 'Ubaydullah al-Muzani.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): However, this report has been narrated through another route better than this one, from Zayd bin Aslam and Ibn Ishaq, from someone (unnamed) who narrated it to them from Ibn 'Abbas. Were it not for the vagueness of the narrator from Ibn 'Abbas, this chain would be hasan. Also, for the story of the prayer for rain (istisqa'), though without 'Umar's sermon, there is a third route from Zayd bin Aslam, from his father, which has some criticism. But by the combination of these three routes the report of Zayd bin Aslam can be considered hasan, and Zayd bin Aslam may have had more than one shaykh for it, as al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar indicated in "Fath al-Bari" (4/ 119). And Allah knows best.
وأخرجه الطبراني في "الدعاء" (2211)، وابن عساكر في "تاريخ دمشق" 26/ 324 - 328 و 328 - 329، وفي "معجم شيوخه" (881)، وابن العديم في "بغية الطلب في تاريخ حلب" 8/ 3748 - 3749. من طريق الزبير بن بكار، بهذا الإسناد.
Reference / Source: It was narrated by al-Tabarani in "al-Du'a'" (2211), Ibn 'Asakir in "Tarikh Dimashq" (26/ 324-328 and 328-329) and in "Mu'jam Shuyukhihi" (881), and Ibn al-'Adim in "Bughyat al-Talab fi Tarikh Halab" (8/ 3748-3749), via al-Zubayr bin Bakkar with this same chain.
وأخرجه اللالكائي في "كرامات الأولياء" (88) من طريق عبد الرحمن بن أبي حاتم، عن محمد بن عُزيز، عن سلامة بن روح، عن عُقيل بن خالد، عن زيد بن أسلم وابن إسحاق، عمَّن أخبرهما، عن ابن عباس. وبعضهم زاد في الحديث على بعضٍ، قال: لما كان عام الرمادة استسقى عمر بن الخطاب … فذكر نحوه. وقد تحرَّف ابن إسحاق في المطبوع إلى: أبي إسحاق. وهو خطأ صوَّبناه من كلام ابن أبي حاتم نفسه في "الجرح والتعديل" حيث ذكر أن عُقيل بن خالد يروي عن محمد بن إسحاق، ولم يتعرض لذكر أبي إسحاق، ومحمد بن إسحاق هذا: هو ابن يسار صاحب السيرة.
Reference / Source: It was narrated by al-Lalaka'i in "Karamat al-Awliya'" (88) via Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Hatim, from Muhammad bin 'Uzayr, from Salamah bin Rawh, from 'Uqayl bin Khalid, from Zayd bin Aslam and Ibn Ishaq, from someone (unnamed) who informed them, from Ibn 'Abbas. Some of them added to the hadith what others did not. He said: "In the year of al-Ramadah (the year of famine), 'Umar bin al-Khattab prayed for rain", and he mentioned something similar.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): In the printed edition "Ibn Ishaq" has been distorted into "Abu Ishaq". This is an error, which we have corrected from the words of Ibn Abi Hatim himself in "al-Jarh wa al-Ta'dil", where he mentioned that 'Uqayl bin Khalid narrates from Muhammad bin Ishaq and made no mention of Abu Ishaq. This Muhammad bin Ishaq is Ibn Yasar, the author of the Sirah.
وأخرجه البَلاذُري في "أنساب الأشراف" 4/ 14 من طريق محمد بن إسماعيل بن أبي فُديك، عن هشام بن سعد، عن زيد بن أسلم، عن أبيه، قال: خرج عمر يستسقي فأخذ بضبعي العباس، وقال: اللهم هذا عم نبيّك فاسقِنا، فما بَرِحَ الناسُ حتى سُقُوا. وإسناده حسنٌ في المتابعات والشواهد.
Reference / Source: It was narrated by al-Baladhuri in "Ansab al-Ashraf" (4/ 14) via Muhammad bin Isma'il bin Abi Fudayk, from Hisham bin Sa'd, from Zayd bin Aslam, from his father, who said: 'Umar went out to pray for rain and took hold of the upper arms of al-'Abbas and said: "O Allah, this is the uncle of Your Prophet, so give us rain." The people had not left the place before they were given rain.
Grading: Its chain is hasan in corroborations and supporting reports.
وفي الباب عن أنس بن مالك عند البخاري (1010): أنَّ عمر بن الخطاب كان إذا قُحطوا استسقى بالعباس بن عبد المطلب، فقال: اللهم إنا كنا نَتَوسَّلُ إليك بنبِّينا فتسقينا، وإنا نَتَوسَّل إليك بعمِّ نبينا فاسقِنا. قال: فيُسقَون.
Corroborating chains and supporting reports: On this topic there is the hadith of Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) in al-Bukhari (1010): that whenever there was a drought, 'Umar bin al-Khattab would pray for rain through al-'Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib, saying: "O Allah, we used to seek means of approach (tawassul) to You through our Prophet and You would give us rain, and (now) we seek means of approach to You through the uncle of our Prophet, so give us rain." He said: And they would be given rain.
وبيَّن ابن عبد البر في "الاستيعاب" ص 558 - وهو عند الزبير بن بكار في "الأنساب" كما في "فتح الباري" 4/ 119 - أنَّ عمر قال بعد خطبته: يا أبا الفضل قم فادعُ، فقام العباس فقال … وذكر دعاءه.
Details of the narration: Ibn 'Abd al-Barr made clear in "al-Isti'ab" (p. 558), and it is also in al-Zubayr bin Bakkar's "al-Ansab" as found in "Fath al-Bari" (4/ 119), that after his sermon 'Umar said: "O Abu al-Fadl ('Abbas), stand up and supplicate." So al-'Abbas stood up and said, and then he mentioned his supplication.
