It was narrated from Hisham bin Ishaq bin ‘Abdullah bin Kinanah that his father said: “One of the governors sent me to Ibn ‘Abbas to ask him about the prayer for rain. He said: ‘What kept him from asking me? The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم went out humbly, (dressed) in a state of humility, submissiveness and beseeching, and he prayed two Rak’ahs as in the ‘Eid prayer, but he did not deliver a Khutbah like this Khutbah of yours.” (Hasan)
