It was narrated from Hisham bin Is bin ‘Abdullah bin Kinanah that his father said: “So and so sent me to Ibn ‘Abbas to ask him how the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم prayed for rain (Istisqa’). He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم went out beseeching and bumble, (dressed) in a state of humility. He did not give a Khulbah like this Khutbah of yours, and he prayed two Rak’ahs.” (Hasan)
