Bayhaqi 6433 — Praying for rain without a prayer, and on Friday

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، ثنا الْمُعَافَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ، عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ: " أَنَّ رَجُلًا اشْتَكَى إِلَى ⦗٤٩٤⦘ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ هَلَاكَ الْمَالِ، وَجَهْدَ الْعِيَالِ؛ قَالَ: فَدَعَا اللهَ فَسُقِيَ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَنَّهُ حَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ، وَلَا اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ ". رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ، وَفِيهِ مَعَ مَا مَضَى مِنْ حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، كَالدِّلَالَةِ عَلَى أَنَّ ذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا يُسَنُّ فِي خُطْبَةِ الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ دُونَ خُطْبَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man complained to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the livestock had perished and the families had become emaciated and weak. Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated to Allah, and they were given rain. He did not mention the turning of the cloak, nor facing the qiblah.
Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated it in his Sahih from al-Hasan bin Bishr. Together with the previously mentioned hadith of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him), it serves as an indication that this (turning the cloak and facing the qiblah) is a sunnah only in the sermon of the rain prayer, not in the Friday sermon. And Allah knows best.
