Chapter on the Prayer for Seeking Rain
Tahdhīb al-Aḥkām|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 8
اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« اَلْخُطْبَةُ فِي اَلاِسْتِسْقَاءِ قَبْلَ اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ يُكَبِّرُ فِي اَلْأُولَى سَبْعاً وَ فِي اَلْأُخْرَى خَمْساً»
Al-Husayn ibn Said, from Fadalah, from Aban, from Ishaq ibn Ammar, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “The sermon in the prayer for rain (al-Istisqa) is before the prayer, and he pronounces takbir seven times in the first rak’ah and five times in the second.”
