It was narrated from Hisham bin Ishaq bin ‘Abdullah bin Kinanah that his father said: “I asked Ibn ‘Abbas how the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم prayed for rain. He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم :, went out (dressed) in a state of humility, beseeching and humble. He sat on the Minbar but he did not deliver a Khutbah like this Khutbah of yours, rather he kept supplicating, beseeching and saying the Takbir, and he prayed two Rak’ahs as he used to do during the two ‘Eids.” (Hasan)
