Sunan Ibn Majah 1266 (Book 5, Hadith 464) #30618
Praying for Rain with Humility

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) praying for rain and how he did it with humility and moderation.

It was narrated from Hisham bin Ishaq bin 'Abdullah bin Kinanah that his father said: "One of the chiefs* sent me to Ibn 'Abbas to ask him about the prayer for rain. Ibn 'Abbas said: 'What kept him from asking me?’ He said: 'The Messenger of Allah went out humbly, walking with a humble and moderate gait, imploring, and he performed two Rak’ah as he used to pray for 'Eid, but he did not give a sermon like this sermon of yours.’"
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي أَمِيرٌ مِنَ الأُمَرَاءِ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ، فِي الاِسْتِسْقَاءِ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ مَا مَنَعَهُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَنِي، قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ مُتَوَاضِعًا مُتَبَذِّلاً مُتَخَشِّعًا مُتَرَسِّلاً مُتَضَرِّعًا فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدِ وَلَمْ يَخْطُبْ خُطْبَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of humility when praying to Allah. It was narrated by Hisham bin Ishaq that his father said that one of the chiefs sent him to Ibn 'Abbas to ask him about prayer for rain. Ibn 'Abbas asked why he didn't ask him himself and then proceeded to tell him how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) went out humbly walking with a humble and moderate gait while imploring Allah for rain. He performed two Rakah as he used to pray on Eid but without giving a sermon like this one's sermon. This hadith teaches us that we should always be humble when asking Allah for anything, even if it is something as simple as rain or any other blessing from Him. We should also remember that our prayers are not just words but actions too; we must perform them in a way which shows our respect and reverence towards Allah Almighty.
