Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-1839b
"عَن نيار الأَسْلَمِى قال: لما أجمَع عمرُ على أن يستسقِى وهو يخرجُ بالناسِ، كتَبَ إِلى عُمَّالهِ أن يَخْرُجُوا يوم كذا وكذا، وأنْ يتضَرَّعُوا إلى ربهم ويطلبُوا إليهِ أن يرفعَ هذا الْمَحْلَ عنهم، وخَرجَ لذلك اليومِ عليه بُرْدُ رسولِ اللَّه ﷺ حتى انتهى إلى المصلى، فخطب الناس وتضرَّعَ وجعل الناس يُلِحُّونَ فما كان أكثرُ دعائه إلَّا الاستغفارَ، حتى إذا قربَ أن ينصرفَ رفعَ يديه مدًا وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ، وجعلَ اليمينَ على اليسارِ، واليسارَ على اليمين، ثم مدَّ يديه وجعلَ يُلحُّ في الدعاء، وبكَى بكاءً طويلًا حتى أخْضَل لحيَتهُ".

"It is narrated from Nayyar al-Aslami who said: When 'Umar resolved to seek rain (istisqa'), and he went out with the people, he wrote to his governors that they should go out on such and such a day, and that they should humble themselves before their Lord and ask Him to lift this drought from them. He went out on that day wearing the cloak of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ until he reached the musalla. He addressed the people and humbled himself, and the people kept beseeching. Most of his supplication was only seeking forgiveness, until, when he was about to depart, he raised his hands wide and turned his cloak, placing the right side over the left and the left over the right. Then he extended his hands and continued to implore in supplication, and he wept a long weeping until his beard was drenched."
