[Machine] "We came from a funeral, and we passed by Abu Dharr. He said, 'We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey when the Muadhin (caller to prayer) wanted to call the Adhan for Dhuhr prayer. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Cool down (wait), then he wanted to call the Adhan again, and the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Cool down,' and on the third time he said, 'The third time is the most knowledgeable. Then we saw the shade of a tree and the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Indeed, the intensity of the heat is from the heat of Hellfire, so when the heat intensifies, cool down with prayer.'"

We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey and the Mu'adh-dhin (call maker for the prayer) wanted to pronounce the Adhan (call) for the Zuhr prayer. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Let it become cooler." He again (after a while) wanted to pronounce the Adhan but the Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Let it become cooler till we see the shadows of hillocks." The Prophet ﷺ added, "The severity of heat is from the raging of the Hell-fire, and in very hot weather pray (Zuhr) when it becomes cooler."

We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ on a journey and the Mu'adh-dhin wanted to pronounce the Adhan for the (Zuhr) prayer. The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Let it become cooler." Then he again wanted to pronounce the Adhan but the Prophet; said to him, "Let it become cooler." The Mu'adh-dhin again wanted to pronounce the Adhan for the prayer but the Prophet ﷺ said, "Let it become cooler," till the shadows of the hillocks become equal to their sizes. The Prophet ﷺ added, "The severity of the heat is from the raging of Hell."

The Mu'adhdbin (the announcer of the hour of prayer) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for the noon prayer. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Let it cool down, let it cool down, or he said: Wait, wait for the intensity of heat is from the exhalation of Hell. When the heat is intense, delay the prayer till it becomes cooler. Abu Dharr said: (We waited) till we saw the shadow of the mounds.

"Messenger of Allah was on a journey and Bilal was with him. So he wanted to call for the prayer, but he (the Prophet) said: 'Let it get cooler.' Then he wanted to call for the prayer, so Messenger of Allah said: 'Let it get to the cooler time of Zuhr.'" He (i.e., Abu Dharr) said: "Until we saw the shadows of the hillocks, then he commanded that the Iqamah be called and then led the people in prayer. Messenger of Allah said: 'The severity of heat is from the raging of Hell, so wait until it becomes cooler for the (Zuhr) prayer.'"  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.

The Mu'adh-dhin (call-maker) of the Prophet ﷺ pronounced the Adhan (call) for the Zuhr prayer but the Prophet said, "Let it be cooler, let it be cooler." Or said, 'Wait, wait, because the severity of heat is from the raging of the Hell-fire. In severe hot weather, pray when it becomes (a bit) cooler and the shadows of hillocks appear." (Using translation from Bukhārī 535)

[Machine] We were informed by a migrant, Abi al-Hasan from the tribe of Taym Allah, who was their freed slave. He said, "We returned from a funeral procession and passed by Zaid ibn Wahb, who narrated from Abu Dharr. He said, 'We were traveling with the Prophet ﷺ when the Mu'adhin wanted to call the adhan. The Prophet ﷺ told him to wait and then he wanted to call the adhan again. The Prophet ﷺ told him to wait, and he repeated this three times. Until we saw the shade of the black crow. The Prophet ﷺ prayed and then said, 'The intensity of the heat is from the breath of Hell. So, when the weather is hot, cool yourselves with prayer.'"

[Machine] Abu Dharr heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during a journey and the Muadhin intended to call the Adhan for Dhur prayer. The Prophet ﷺ told him, 'Cool down.' Then he intended to call the Adhan again and the Prophet ﷺ told him, 'Cool down' two or three times until we saw the shadow of a hillock. The Prophet ﷺ then said, 'Indeed, the intense heat is a portion of the Hellfire. So when it is extremely hot, cool yourselves with prayer.'"

[Machine] I heard Abu Dharr saying, "We were with the Prophet ﷺ, and the Mu'adhdhin intended to call for the Dhuhr (midday) prayer. Abu Dharr said, 'Wait a bit.' Then the Mu'adhdhin intended to call for the prayer again, and Abu Dharr said, 'Wait a bit' two or three times until we saw a white spot in the horizon. Then Abu Dharr said, 'The intensity of heat is from the heat of Hell, so when it is very hot, cool it down with prayer.' Abu Dawud said, 'He (Abu Dharr) was a Muhajir and the companion of Abu al-Hasan.'"
