The answer

This narration is invalid and cannot be authentically attributed to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). Muhammad ibn Zubalah, who mentioned it, is weak and cannot be used as a source. The prescribed method of seeking rain (Istisqa') is to supplicate to Allah Almighty in the mosque or in the open desert.
