3710. Narrated Anas رضي الله عنه: Whenever there was drought, 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb used to ask Allāh for rain through Al-'Abbās bin 'Abdul-Muṭṭalib, saying, "O Allāh! We used to request our Prophet ﷺ to ask You for rain, and You would give us. Now we request the uncle of our Prophet ﷺ to ask You for rain, so give us rain." So Allāh used to provide them with rain."(2)
3710 - حَدَّثَنَا الحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ المُثَنَّى، عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الخَطَّابِ، كَانَ إِذَا قَحَطُوا اسْتَسْقَى بِالعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ المُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ: «اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَبِيِّنَا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَسْقِينَا، وَإِنَّا نَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِعَمِّ نَبِيِّنَا فَاسْقِنَا» قَالَ: فَيُسْقَوْنَ
