[Machine] About the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the prayer for rain, I came to him and said, "We performed the prayer in the mosque for the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for rain." He said, "No, rather he sent the son of your brother, meaning Al-Walid, who was the governor of the city at that time." Ibn Abbas said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out, appearing modest and humble, beseeching Allah. He sat on the pulpit and did not give a sermon like yours, but he remained in supplication, beseeching, and Takbir. He then prayed two Rak'ahs as he used to pray on the two Eids."
عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّمَا تَمَارَيْنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ فَقَالَ لَا بَلْ أَرْسَلَ ابْنُ أَخِيكُمْ يَعْنِي الْوَلِيدَ وَهُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمَدِينَةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُتَبَذِّلًا مُتَوَاضِعًا مُتَضَرِّعًا فَجَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمْ يَخْطُبْ خُطْبَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَالتَّضَرُّعِ وَالتَّكْبِيرِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ
