It was narrated from Hisham bin Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Kinanah that: His father said: "One of the governors sent me to Ibn Abbas to ask him about the prayer for rain. He said: What kept him from asking me? The Messenger of Allah (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) went out humbly, (dressed) in a state of humility, submissiveness and beseeching, and he prayed two rakahs as in the Eid prayer, but he did not deliver a Khutbah like this Khutbah of yours."
