Bayhaqi 6403 — Evidence that the Sunnah in the prayer for rain

كَمَا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ اللَّخْمِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: أَرْسَلَنِي أَمِيرٌ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ، فَقَالَ: مَنْ أَرْسَلَكَ؟ قُلْتُ: فُلَانٌ قَالَ: مَا مَنَعَهُ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنِي فَيَسْأَلَنِي؟ " خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَوَاضِعًا، مُتَضَرِّعًا، مُتَذَلِّلًا، فَلَمْ يَخْطُبْ خُطْبَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ، وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدِ ". قَالَ سُفْيَانُ: قُلْتُ لِلشَّيْخِ: الْخُطْبَةُ قَبْلَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ بَعْدَهَا قَالَ: لَا أَدْرِي. فَهَذَا يَدُلُّ ⦗٤٨٥⦘ عَلَى أَنَّ هِشَامًا كَانَ لَا يَحْفَظُهُ، وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ جَدِّهِ مُحَالًا بِهَا عَلَى صَلَاةِ الْعِيدَيْنِ.
Hisham bin Ishaq bin Abdullah narrates that his father said: One of the governors sent me to Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) to ask him about the rain prayer (salat al-istisqa'). Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Who sent you? I said: So-and-so. He said: What prevented him from coming to me and asking me? Then Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) went out humbly and imploring, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not deliver a sermon like this sermon of yours, and he led two rak'ahs just as he used to lead them at Eid.
Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I said to the Shaykh: Was the sermon before the two rak'ahs or after them? He said: I do not know. This indicates that Hisham had not retained it, and Isma'il bin Rabi'ah bin Hisham narrated it from his grandfather, referring it to the prayer of the two Eids.
