8. Ṣalāh for Rain (Istisqāʾ)
٨۔ كِتَابُ صَلَاةِ الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed for rain and turned his cloak inside out, so that the drought would be alleviated. This was narrated by others from Isa bin Isa, without mentioning Jabir, and it is attributed to Abu Ja'far, who said that he was informed by Abu Bakr bin Al-Harith Al-Faqih and Ali bin Umar Al-Hafiz, who narrated from Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Abi Thalj, who narrated from his grandfather, who narrated from Ishaq bin Al-Tabba', who narrated from Hafs bin Ghiyath.
اسْتَسْقَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ؛ لِيَتَحَوَّلَ الْقَحْطُ كَذَا قَالَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَرَوَاهُ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عِيسَى فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ جَابِرًا وَجَعَلَهُ مِنْ قَوْلِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ 6419 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْفَقِيهُ أنبأ عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَافِظُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي الثَّلْجِ ثنا جَدِّي ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الطَّبَّاعِ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ فَذَكَرَهُ مُرْسَلًا
[Machine] Waki' said regarding his saying, "He made the right on the left and the left on the right," meaning the transformation of the barren year into fertility, as this right has transformed on the left.
قَالَ وَكِيعٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ جَعَلَ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الشِّمَالِ وَالشِّمَالَ عَلَى الْيَمِينِ يَعْنِي تَحَوَّلُ السَّنَةِ الْجَدْبَةِ إِلَى الْخِصْبِ كَمَا تَحَوَّلُ هَذَا الْيَمِينِ عَلَى الشِّمَالِ
