1506. It was narrated from 'Abbâd bin Tamîm: "Sufyân said: 'I asked 'Abdullâh bin Abî Bakr who said: "I heard it from 'Abbâd bin Tamîm who narrated it from his father, that 'Abdullâh bin Zaid, who was shown the call to prayer (in a dream), said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ went out to the prayer place to pray for rain. He faced the Qiblah and turned his cloak around, and prayed two Rak'ahs.'"
Abû 'Abdur-Rahmân (An-Nasâ'î) said: This is a mistake on the part of Ibn 'Uyaynah. 'Abdullâh bin Zaid who was shown the call to prayer was 'Abdullâh bin Zaid bin 'Abdur-Rabbih, and this is 'Abdullâh bin Zaid bin 'Âsim. (Sahîh)

Commentary
Going out of town for the prayer for relief from drought is a Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ; but it is not compulsory. According to the preceding narration (1505), the Prophet ﷺ himself made supplication in the mosque. Depending upon circumstances, either option could be adopted.
