Prayer for Rain - Turning Cloak Inside Out

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) went to the Musalla to offer the Istisqa' prayer, and offered a two rak'at prayer while facing the Qibla and turning his cloak inside out.

Narrated 'Abbad bin Tamim from his uncle who said: "The Prophet went out to the Musalla to offer the Istisqa' prayer, faced the Qibla and offered a two rak'at prayer and turned his cloak inside out". Narrated Abu Bakr, "The Prophet put the right side of his cloak on his left side".
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، سَمِعَ عَبَّادَ بْنَ تَمِيمٍ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، قَالَ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى يَسْتَسْقِي، وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَقَلَبَ رِدَاءَهُ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ جَعَلَ الْيَمِينَ عَلَى الشِّمَالِ‏.‏
