أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي هِشَامُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
أَرْسَلَنِي أَمِيرٌ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ فَقَالَ «خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُتَبَذِّلًا مُتَمَسْكِنًا مُتَضَرِّعًا مُتَوَاضِعًا وَلَمْ يَخْطُبْ خُطْبَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدِ»

✧ A governor sent me to Ibn Abbas to ask him about the rain prayer. He said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out humbly, submissively, imploringly, and modestly. He did not deliver a sermon like this sermon of yours. He prayed two rak‘ahs as he prayed on Eid.”

- 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.
