Chapter 3 · The Book Of The Prayer For Rain (Kitab al-Istisqa')مَنْ قَالَ يَرْكَعُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي شُعَيْبٍ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ، عَنْ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، قَالَ: كُسِفَتِ الشَّمْسُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَعَلَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، وَيَسْأَلُ عَنْهَا حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ .
