The Book of Friday Prayer, the Two Festivals, the Prayer for Rain, the Eclipse Prayer, and Funerals-04b

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us, Sulayman ibn Bilal informed us, from Yahya ibn Sa'id, who said: Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad ibn 'Amr informed me that 'Abbad ibn Tamim informed him that 'Abdullah ibn Zayd al-Ansari informed him
the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went out to the place of prayer in order to offer prayer for rainfall. And when he intended to make supplication he faced Qibla and turned round his mantle. أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى يَسْتَسْقِي، وَأَنَّهُ لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ، اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، وَحَوَّلَ رِدَاءَهُ
Sahih Muslim 894c
.

The Shaykh : His statement: "He faced the qiblah and turned his cloak," and in the first wording: "He reversed his cloak." Can it be said: Did he turn the cloak before he supplicated? Or did he supplicate and then turn the cloak? There is a possibility in the hadith, and the first context implies that he turned the cloak after he faced the qiblah, because he said:
and prayed for rain, and he turned his rida' around when he turned to the Qiblah.فاستسقى، وحوّل رداءه حين استقبل القبلة
Sunan an-Nasa'i 1511Sahih (Darussalam)
