صَاحَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ فِي الِاسْتِسْقَاءِ فَقَالَ لِيَ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَسَلْهُ مَا رَأْيُكَ فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ قَدْ صَاحُوا إِلَيَّ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ لِي قُلْ لَهُ فَلْيَخْرُجْ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَتَى يَخْرُجُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ يُخْرِجُ الْمِنْبَرَ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ يَمْشِي كَمَا يَمْشِي يَوْمَ الْعِيدَيْنِ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ الْمُؤَذِّنُونَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ عَنَزُهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَ لَا إِقَامَةٍ ثُمَّ يَصْعَدُ الْمِنْبَرَ فَيَقْلِبُ رِدَاءَهُ فَيَجْعَلُ الَّذِي عَلَى يَمِينِهِ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ وَ الَّذِي عَلَى يَسَارِهِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ فَيُكَبِّرُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَكْبِيرَةٍ رَافِعاً بِهَا صَوْتَهُ ثُمَّ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَيُسَبِّحُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَسْبِيحَةٍ رَافِعاً بِهَا صَوْتَهُ ثُمَّ يَلْتَفِتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَيُهَلِّلُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَهْلِيلَةٍ رَافِعاً بِهَا صَوْتَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَقْبِلُ النَّاسَ فَيَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَحْمِيدَةٍ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ فَيَدْعُو ثُمَّ يَدْعُونَ فَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَخِيبُوا قَالَ فَفَعَلَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا جَاءَ الْمَطَرُ قَالُوا هَذَا مِنْ تَعْلِيمِ جَعْفَرٍ . وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ يُونُسَ فَمَا رَجَعْنَا حَتَّى أَهَمَّتْنَا أَنْفُسُنَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Muhammad Bin Muslim and Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Ahmad Bin Suleyman, altogether from Murra, a slave of Muhammad Bin Khalid who said, ‘The people of Al-Medina cried before Muhammad Binn Khalid regarding the (lack of) rain. So he said to me, ‘Go to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> and ask him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What is your<sup>asws</sup> view, for they have cried before me, so I came to you’. So I said it to him<sup>asws</sup>, and he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Tell him, so let him come out’. I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘When should he go out, may I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘On the day of Monday’. I said, ‘How should he deal with it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He should take out the pulpit, then go out walking just as he would walk on the day of the two Eids, and in front of him would be the <span class="iTxt">Muezzins</span>, in their hands being their walking sticks, until when he ends up to the praying place, where he would pray two Rak’at of <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> with the people, without an <span class="iTxt">Azan</span> or an <span class="iTxt">Iqamah</span>. Then he would ascend the pulpit, and overturn his cloak, so that he would make that which is upon his right to be upon his left, and that which is upon his left to be upon his right. Then he should face the Qiblah, and he would exclaim one hundred <span class="iTxt">Takbīr’</span>s, raising his voice with it. The he would turn towards the people on his right, so he would Glorify Allah<sup>azwj</sup> with one hundred Glorifications raising his voice with it. Then he would turn towards the people on his left, so he would extoll the Oneness of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> raising his voice with it. Then he would face the people, so he would Praise Allah<sup>azwj</sup> with one hundred Praises. Then he would raise his hands, and he would supplicate. Then they would be supplicating, so I<sup>asws</sup> hope that they would not be unsuccessful’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He did so. So when we returned, the rain came, and they said, ‘This is from the teaching of Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>’. And in a report of Yunus, ‘(He (the narrator) said): ‘So we had not returned until we were drenched’.
