Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عُمَيْرٍ، مَوْلَى آبِي اللَّحْمِ عَنْ آبِي اللَّحْمِ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عِنْدَ أَحْجَارِ الزَّيْتِ يَسْتَسْقِي وَهُوَ مُقْنِعٌ بِكَفَّيْهِ يَدْعُو .

Qutaybah narrated to us; he said: Al-Layth narrated to us, from Khalid ibn Yazid, from Sa‘id ibn Abi Hilal, from Yazid ibn ‘Abdullah, from ‘Umayr, the freedman of Abi al-Lahm, from Abi al-Lahm, that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at Ahjar al-Zayt supplicating for rain, holding his hands raised with his palms turned upward.
