‘Abdallah b. Zaid said God's Messenger took the people out to the place of prayer and prayed for rain. He led them in two <i>rak'as</i> in the course of which he recited from the Qur'an in a loud voice. He faced the <i>qibla</i> making supplication, raised his hands and turned round his cloak when he faced the <i>qibla</i>. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالنَّاسِ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى يَسْتَسْقِي فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ جَهَرَ فِيهِمَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ يَدْعُو وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ حِينَ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ
