English translation
1522. It was narrated from Hishâm bin Ishâq bin 'Abdullâh bin Kinânah that his father said: "One of the governors sent me to Ibn 'Abbâs to ask him about the prayer for rain. He said: 'What kept him from asking me? The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ went out humbly, (dressed) in a state of humility, submissiveness and beseeching, and he prayed two Rak'ahs as in the 'Eid prayer, but he did not deliver a Khuṭbah like this Khuṭbah of yours.'" (Ḥasan)
