ہم سے عبداللہ بن محمد مسندی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے کہا کہ ہم سے سفیان بن عیینہ نے عبداللہ بن ابی بکر سے بیان کیا، انہوں نے عباد بن تمیم سے سنا اور عباد اپنے چچا عبداللہ بن زید رضی اللہ عنہ سے بیان کرتے تھے کہ نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم دعائے استسقاء کے لیے عیدگاہ کو نکلے اور قبلہ رخ ہو کر دو رکعت نماز پڑھی پھر چادر پلٹی۔ سفیان ثوری نے کہا مجھے عبدالرحمٰن بن عبداللہ مسعودی نے ابوبکر کے حوالے سے خبر دی کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے چادر کا داہنا کونا بائیں کندھے پر ڈالا۔
