559. (Another chain) from Hishām bin Ishāq bin 'Abdullāh bin Kinānah, from his father, and he mentioned a similar narration and added: "with humility" to it. (Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
And it is the view of Ash-Shāfi'ī, he said: "Ṣalāt Al-Istisqā' is prayed like the two 'Eid prayers. The Takbir is said seven times in the first Rak'ah, and five times in the second." And he used the Ḥadīth of Ibn 'Abbās as proof.
Abū 'Eisā said: It has been reported that Mālik bin Anas said: "There is no Takbir in Ṣalāt Al-Istisqā' like that of the two 'Eid prayers."
(An-Nu'mān Abū Ḥanīfah said: "Ṣalāt Al-Istisqā" is not to be prayed, nor would I tell people to turn their upper wraps around. Rather, they are to supplicate and to repent all together." Abū 'Eisā said: This contradicts the Sunnah.)

Commentary
(1) The interpretation of the opinion of Imām Abū Ḥanīfah, according to the Aḥnāf, has already been mentioned. Shaikh Banawrī said, Imām Abū Ḥanīfah denied the prayer for rain being a Stressed Sunnah, but he did not deny it being Sunnah and desirable. (Ma'ārif: 4/492).
(2) For the supplication for rain, the hands will be raised upside down i.e., the back of the palms will be turned up and the palms towards the ground. (Sharh Muslim: 1/293)
