Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، - قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَسَأَلْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ، عَبَّادِ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ يُحَدِّثُ أَبِي - أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ زَيْدٍ الَّذِي، أُرِيَ النِّدَاءَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى يَسْتَسْقِي فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَقَلَبَ رِدَاءَهُ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا غَلَطٌ مِنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدٍ الَّذِي أُرِيَ النِّدَاءَ هُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ وَهَذَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Mansur narrated to me; he said: Sufyan narrated to us; he said: al-Mas‘udi narrated to us, from Abu Bakr ibn ‘Amr ibn Hazm, from ‘Abbad ibn Tamim. Sufyan said: I asked ‘Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr, who said, “I heard it from ‘Abbad ibn Tamim narrating to my father”: ‘Abdullah ibn Zayd, the one who was shown the call, said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out to the prayer place to seek rain. He faced the qiblah, turned his cloak inside out, and prayed two rak‘ahs. Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman said: This is a mistake by Ibn ‘Uyaynah. The ‘Abdullah ibn Zayd who was shown the call is ‘Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn ‘Abd Rabbih; this man is ‘Abdullah ibn Zayd ibn ‘Asim.

Translation notes
  • The final sentence is an editorial correction distinguishing two men named ‘Abdullah ibn Zayd; it is kept distinct from the transmitted report.
