حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي أَمِيرٌ مِنْ الْأُمَرَاءِ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ مَا مَنْعَهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَنِي خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَوَاضِعًا مُتَبَذِّلًا مُتَخَشِّعًا مُتَرَسِّلًا مُتَضَرِّعًا فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدِ لَمْ يَخْطُبْ خُطْبَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3331
It was narrated from Hisham bin Ishaq bin 'Abdullah bin Kinanah that his father said; One of the governors sent me to Ibn 'Abbas (RA) to ask him about prayers for rain. Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: What prevented him from asking me? The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) went out humbly and wearing shabby clothes, walking with a lowly and moderate gait, beseeching, and he prayed two rak'ahs as is done on Eid, but he did not deliver a speech as you do.
