That Abdullah ibn Yazid went out to seek rain for the people, so he prayed two rak'ahs and then sought rain.

I said to him: 'How many battles did the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fight?' He said: 'Nineteen.' I said: 'How many did you fight with him?' He said: 'Seventeen battles.'
