1165. Hishām bin Ishāq bin Abdullāh bin Kinānah narrated that his father narrated to him, that the Amīr of Al-Madinah, Al-Walīd bin Uqbah — according to Uthmān (one of the narrators): Ibn 'Utbah — sent him to Ibn 'Abbās asking him about the rain prayer of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. So he (Ibn 'Abbās) narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh went out (meaning in the open-out side the city), wearing modest clothes, in a state of humbleness and displaying neediness (to Allāh), until he came to the prayer ground" — Uthmān (one of the narrators) added: And ascended the Minbar — "And he did not deliver any Khuṭbah such as you do, but he continued to supplicate and petition (Allāh), and say the Takbīr. Then he prayed two Rak'ahs as is performed for Eid." (Hasan)
Abū Dāwūd said: This narration is that of An-Nufailī,[1] and what is correct is (Al-Walīd) bin Utbah.

Commentary
That it was like Eid prayer means that it was like it in duration, that no Adhān was called, the number of Rak'ahs was the same, and the prayer preceded the Khuṭbah, but the prayer for rain has no additional Takbīrs.
