While the Prophet ﷺ was on a journey, he said (regarding the performance of the Zuhr prayer), "Wait till it (i.e. the weather) gets cooler." He said the same again till the shade of the hillocks extended. Then he said, "Delay the (Zuhr) Prayer till it gets cooler, for the severity of heat is from the increase in heat of Hell (fire).  

البخاري:٣٢٥٨حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُهَاجِرٍ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ ؓ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَقَالَ أَبْرِدْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبْرِدْ حَتَّى فَاءَ الْفَىْءُ يَعْنِي لِلتُّلُولِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ

tirmidhi:158Maḥmūd b. Ghaylān > Abū Dāwud al-Ṭayālisī > Shuʿbah > Muhājir Abū al-Ḥasan > Zayd b. Wahb > Abū Dhar

"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.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَمَعَهُ بِلاَلٌ فَأَرَادَ بِلاَلٌ أَنْ يُقِيمَ فَقَالَ أَبْرِدْ ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُقِيمَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَبْرِدْ فِي الظُّهْرِ قَالَ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا فَىْءَ التُّلُولِ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ فَصَلَّى فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَأَبْرِدُوا عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Delay the (Zuhr) Prayer till it gets cooler, for the severity of heat is from the increase in the heat of Hell (fire). (Using translation from Bukhārī 3259)  

أحمد:٩١٠٥حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْوَلِيدِ وَعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَأَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلَاةِ  

ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْحَرَّ كُلَّمَا اشْتَدَّ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُبْرَدَ بِالظُّهْرِ أَكْثَرَ

[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.'"  

ابن حبّان:١٥٠٩أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْجُمَحِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ

سَمِعَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَقُولُ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَرَادَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ بِالظُّهْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَبْرِدْ» ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ «أَبْرِدْ» مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا فَيْءَ التُّلُولِ وَقَالَ «إِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلَاةِ»
