"عَنْ أنَسٍ قَالَ: كانُوا إِذَا قَحَطُوا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ اسْتَسْقَوْا بِالنَّبِىِّ ﷺ ، فَلَمَّا كانَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ فِى إِمَارَة عُمَرَ قَحَطُوا، فَأخْرجَ عُمَرُ العَبَّاسَ يَسْتَسْقِى بِهِ فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَ إِنَّا كُنَّا إِذَا قَحَطنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ نَبِيِّكَ اسْتَسْقَيْنَا بِهِ فَتَسْقِينَا، وَإنَّا لَنَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِعَمِّ نَبِيِّكَ فَاسْقِنَا، قَالَ: فَسُقُوا ".

Collected by Ibn Ḥibbān

ذِكْرُ مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلْإِمَامِ إِذَا أَرَادَ الِاسْتِسْقَاءَ أَنْ يَسْتَسْقِيَ اللَّهَ بِالصَّالِحِينَ رَجَاءَ اسْتِجَابَةِ الدُّعَاءِ لِذَلِكَ

ibnhibban:2861ʿUmar b. Muḥammad al-Hamdānī > Muḥammad b. al-Muthanná > al-Anṣārī from my father > Thumāmah > Anas

[Machine] They used to seek rain (from God) through the Prophet Muhammadﷺ so he would pray for rain and they would be given rain. After the death of the Prophet Muhammadﷺ during the reign of Umar, they experienced drought. Umar went out with Abbas to seek rain through him, and Umar said, "O Allah, when we experienced drought during the time of your Prophet and sought rain through him, you granted us rain. And today, I seek your help through the uncle of your Prophet, so grant us rain." The rain then fell.  

ابن حبّان:٢٨٦١أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ عَنِ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

«كَانُوا إِذَا قَحَطُوا عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ اسْتَسْقَوْا بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَيَسْتَسْقِي لَهُمْ فَيُسْقَوْنَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي إِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ قَحَطُوا فَخَرَجَ عُمَرُ بِالْعَبَّاسِ يَسْتَسْقِي بِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا إِذَا قَحَطْنَا عَلَى عَهْدِ نَبِيِّكَ ﷺ وَاسْتَسْقُينَا بِهِ فَسَقَيْتَنَا وَأَنَا نَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ بِعَمِّ نَبِيِّكَ ﷺ فَاسْقِنَا قَالَ فَسُقُوا»
