وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، ثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الصَّفَّارُ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، ثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:

أَرْسَلَنِي أَمِيرٌ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: مَا مَنَعَهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَنِي ؟ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُتَوَاضِعًا مُتَخَشِّعًا مُتَبَذِّلًا مُتَضَرِّعًا مُتَرَسِّلًا، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدِ، وَلَمْ يَخْطُبْ كَخُطْبَتِكُمْ

One of the governors sent me to Ibn ʿAbbās to ask him about the prayer for rain (istisqāʾ). Ibn ʿAbbās said: "What kept him from asking me himself? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out humble, submissive, in plain clothes, supplicating, and unhurried. He prayed two rakʿahs as he prays on the Eid, and he did not deliver a sermon like your sermon."

  • ابن الملقن

    هذا الحديث صحيح

    machine translationThis hadith is authentic (ṣaḥīḥ).

  • Abū Bakr Aḥmad b. al-Ḥusayn al-Bayhaqī

    الخطبة قبل الركعتين أو بعدها قال لا أدري فهذا يدل على أن هشاما كان لا يحفظه

    machine translation[The question of whether] the sermon was before the two rakʿahs or after them—he said: "I do not know." This indicates that Hishām did not memorize it.
