Sunan an-Nasai 1506 (Book 17, Hadith 3) #16117
Prayer for Rain in Islam

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's prayer for rain and how he conducted himself during it.

It was narrated from Hisham bin Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Kinanah that : His father said: "So and so sent me to ask him how the Messenger of Allah prayed for rain (Istisqa')". He said: 'The Messenger of Allah went out beseeching and humble, (dressed) in a state of humility. He did not give a Khutbah like this Khutbah of yours, and he prayed two rak'ahs'."
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي فُلاَنٌ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ صَلاَةِ، رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي الاِسْتِسْقَاءِ فَقَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مُتَضَرِّعًا مُتَوَاضِعًا مُتَبَذِّلاً فَلَمْ يَخْطُبْ نَحْوَ خُطْبَتِكُمْ هَذِهِ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the Prophet Muhammad's prayer for rain, known as Istisqa'. It was narrated by Hisham bin Ishaq that his father said that when the Prophet prayed for rain, he did not give a sermon like other sermons. Instead, he went out humbly dressed and prayed two rak'ahs. This teaches us to be humble when we pray to Allah and to remember that He is all-powerful and can answer our prayers if He wills it. We should also remember to be humble in our dress when we go out in public or perform any religious act.
