ہم سے آدم بن ابی ایاس نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے ابن ابی ذئب نے زہری سے بیان کیا، ان سے عباد بن تمیم نے، ان سے ان کے چچا عبداللہ بن زید نے کہ میں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو جب آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم استسقاء کے لیے باہر نکلے، دیکھا تھا۔ انہوں نے بیان کیا کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اپنی پیٹھ صحابہ کی طرف کر دی اور قبلہ رخ ہو کر دعا کی۔ پھر چادر پلٹی اور دو رکعت نماز پڑھائی جس کی قرآت قرآن میں آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے جہر کیا تھا۔
