"عن أَبى صالح أن الأرض أجدبت على عهد عمر، فقال كعب الأحبار: يا أمير المؤمنين: إن بنى إسرائيل كانوا إذا أصابهم أشباه هذا استسقوا بِعَصَبَةِ الأنبياء، فقال عمر: هذا عم النبى ﷺ وصنوا أبيه وسيد بنى هاشم، فشكى إليه عمر ما فيه الناس فصعد عمر المنبر وصعد معه العباس، فقال عمر: اللهم إنا توجهنا إليك بعم نبيك وصنوا أبيه فاسقنا الغيث ولا تجعلنا من القانطين".

"On the authority of Abu Salih that the land became barren in the time of 'Umar, and Ka'b al-Ahbar said: 'O Commander of the Believers, when the Children of Israel were struck by something similar, they asked for rain through the kin of the Prophets.' 'Umar said: 'This is the uncle of the Prophet ﷺ, the brother of his father, and the chief of the Banu Hashim.' The people complained to him of what they were suffering, so 'Umar ascended the pulpit and al-'Abbas ascended with him. 'Umar said: 'O Allah, we have turned to You through the uncle of Your Prophet and the brother of his father, so give us rain and do not make us of those who despair.'"
