558. It is narrated from Hishām bin Ishāq – and he was Ibn 'Abdullāh bin Kinānah – from his father who said: "Al-Walīd bin 'Uqbah, the governor of Al-Madinah, sent me to ask Ibn 'Abbās about how the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would
perform Ṣalāt Al-Istisqā'. I came to him and he said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ would go out in modest dress, humbly, imploring, until he reached the Muṣallā. He would not give this Khutbah of yours, rather, he would continue supplicating and imploring and saying the Takbir, and pray two Rak'ah, just as he would pray for the 'Eid.'" (Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
Imām Shāfi'ī said: 'Like the prayer of 'Eid' means that seven Takbir are to be said in the first Rak'ah before the recitation and five in the second Rak'ah, whereas the majority of the scholars said: It means to recite loud like in the 'Eid Prayer and the two Rak'ah are led before the sermon. (Tahfat Al-Ahwadhi: 1/390); the majority are Imām Mālik, Ath-Thawri, Al-Awzā'ī, Aḥmad, Ishāq, Abū Thawr, Abū Yūsuf and Muḥammad.
