Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، نَحْوَهُ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ، أَرْسَلَنِي الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ ابْنُ عُقْبَةَ وَكَانَ أَمِيرَ الْمَدِينَةِ - إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ صَلاَةِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الاِسْتِسْقَاءِ فَقَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مُتَبَذِّلاً مُتَوَاضِعًا مُتَضَرِّعًا حَتَّى أَتَى الْمُصَلَّى - زَادَ عُثْمَانُ فَرَقِيَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا - وَلَمْ يَخْطُبْ خُطَبَكُمْ هَذِهِ وَلَكِنْ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَالتَّضَرُّعِ وَالتَّكْبِيرِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدِ ‏ .‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَالإِخْبَارُ لِلنُّفَيْلِيِّ وَالصَّوَابُ ابْنُ عُتْبَةَ ‏.‏

Al-Nufayli and ʿUthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us a similar report. They said: Hatim ibn Ismaʿil narrated to us: Hisham ibn Ishaq ibn ʿAbd Allah ibn Kinanah said: My father informed me: al-Walid ibn ʿUtbah sent me—the version of ʿUthman says Ibn ʿUqbah; he was the governor of Medina—to Ibn ʿAbbas to ask him about the Messenger of Allah’s (ﷺ) prayer for rain. He said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out in ordinary, humble, supplicant dress until he reached the prayer ground.’ ʿUthman added: ‘He ascended the pulpit’; then the two reports agree: ‘He did not deliver a sermon like your sermons, but continued in supplication, earnest entreaty, and takbir. Then he prayed two rakʿahs as he prayed on Eid.’ Abu Dawud said: ‘This is the report of al-Nufayli, and the correct name is Ibn ʿUtbah.’
