It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Abu Bakr said:`“I heard ‘Abbad bin Tamim narrating to my father that his paternal uncle had seen the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) going out to the prayer place to pray for rain. He faced the Qiblah and turned his cloak around, and prayed two Rak’ah.”(One of the narrators) Muhammad bin Sabbah said:“Sufyan told us something similar, narrating from Yahya bin Sa`eed, from Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin `Amr bin Hazm. from `Abbad bin Tamim, from his paternal uncle, from the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ).”Sufyan narrated that Al-Mas`udi said:“I asked Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin `Amr: 'Did he turn it upside down or right to left?' He said: 'No, it was right to left.'”

‘With this chain also,’ Ubadah bin Tamim narrated from his uncle (Abdullah bin Zaid, may Allah be pleased with him), and he narrated from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) a similar hadith. In this narration, there is an addition that Sufyan Thawri narrated from Mas’udi, who said: I asked Abu Bakr bin Muhammad bin Amr,“How did he turn the sheet? Did he make the upper part lower, or did he turn the right side to the left?”He said:“No, rather he turned the right side to the left.”
