Hadith on Istisqa: The Prophet prays and supplicates for rain

Abdullah ibn Zayd reported: I saw the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, one day go out to prayer for rain. He turned his back to the people and faced the Qiblah and supplicated, then he turns his cloak inside out, then he prayed two cycles for us while reciting aloud.
