Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلاَلٍ - عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى يَسْتَسْقِي وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ ثُمَّ حَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ ‏.‏

ʿAbd Allah ibn Maslamah narrated to us: Sulayman—meaning Ibn Bilal—narrated to us, from Yahya, from Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad, from ʿAbbad ibn Tamim, that ʿAbd Allah ibn Zayd informed him that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out to the prayer ground to pray for rain. When he wished to supplicate, he faced the qiblah and then turned his cloak.
