Hadith.1505 – It is narrated from Ibn Abbas that Umar ibn al-Khattab went out to pray for rain (Istisqa') and said to Abbas (the uncle of the Prophet), "Stand up and supplicate to your Lord (azj) and seek rain." Umar said: "O’ Allah (swt), we seek a means to You through the uncle of Your Prophet." So Abbas stood up, praised Allah (swt), and extolled Him, then said: "O’ Allah (swt), You have the clouds, and You have the rain; so spread the clouds and send down water from it upon us. Send it down upon us, strengthen the roots, make the branches grow, and revive the crops with it. O’ Allah (swt), we are intercessors to You for those who cannot speak—our livestock and our animals. Let us be intercessors for ourselves and our families. O’ Allah (swt), we call upon none but You and turn our hope to none but You. O’ Allah (swt), give us a peaceful and beneficial rainfall, abundant and overwhelming. O’ Allah (swt), we complain to You of the hunger of every hungry one, the nakedness of every unclothed one, the fear of every fearful one, and the thirst of every thirsty one who calls upon You."
