‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏وَكِيعٌ ‏ ‏حَدَّثَنَا ‏ ‏سُفْيَانُ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏هِشَامِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كِنَانَةَ ‏ ‏عَنْ ‏ ‏أَبِيهِ ‏ ‏عَنِ ‏ ‏ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ‏ ‏أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏خَرَجَ مُتَخَشِّعًا مُتَضَرِّعًا مُتَوَاضِعًا ‏ ‏مُتَبَذِّلًا ‏ ‏مُتَرَسِّلًا ‏ ‏فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا ‏ ‏يُصَلِّي فِي الْعِيدِ لَمْ يَخْطُبْ كَخُطْبَتِكُمْ هَذِهِ ‏

English Translation

Waki' narrated from Sufyan, from Hisham ibn Ishaq ibn 'Abdullah ibn Kinanah, from his father, from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما): the Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out in a state of humility, supplication, modesty, plainness, and walking slowly. He prayed two rak'ahs with the people as he would pray for Eid — he did not deliver a sermon like this sermon of yours (i.e., it was the istisqa'/rain prayer).
