أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ نَصْرٍ ثَنَا الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ حَدَّثَنِي سَاعِدَةُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُزَنِيُّ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ الْمَدَنِيِّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ
اسْتَسْقَى عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَامَ الرَّمَادَةِ بِالْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا عَمُّ نَبِيِّكَ الْعَبَّاسُ نَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِهِ فَاسْقِنَا فَمَا بَرِحُوا حَتَّى سَقَاهُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ فَخَطَبَ عُمَرُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَرَى لِلْعَبَّاسِ مَا يَرَى الْوَلَدُ لِوَالِدِهِ يُعَظِّمُهُ وَيُفَخِّمُهُ وَيَبَرُّ قَسَمَهُ فَاقْتَدُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي عَمِّهِ الْعَبَّاسِ وَاتَّخِذُوهُ وَسِيلَةً إِلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ فِيمَا نَزَلَ بِكُمْ»

✧ Umar b. al-Khattab sought rain in the Year of Ashes through al-Abbas b. Abd al-Muttalib, saying: 'O God, this is the uncle of Your Prophet, al-Abbas. We turn to You through him, so give us rain.' They did not leave until God gave them rain. Then Umar addressed the people, saying: 'O people, the Messenger of God ﷺ regarded al-Abbas as a son regards his father, honoring him, magnifying him, and fulfilling his oath. So, O people, follow the Messenger of God ﷺ in regard to his uncle al-Abbas and take him as a means to God ﷻ in whatever befalls you.'
