5. The Book of Mosques and Places of Prayer
٥۔ كتاب الْمَسَاجِدِ وَمَوَاضِعِ الصَّلاَةِ
Delaying prayer in severe heat
[AI] From the Prophet ﷺ, who said: "When the heat becomes intense, delay the prayer until it is cooler, for the intensity of heat is from the raging heat of Jahannam. The Fire complained to its Lord and said: O Lord, one part of me has consumed another. So He permitted it two breaths: a breath in the winter and a breath in the summer. That is the most intense heat you experience, and the most intense bitter cold you experience."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «إِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلاَةِ؛ فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ، وَاشْتَكَتِ النَّارُ إِلَى رَبِّهَا فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَبِّ، أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا، فَأَذِنَ لَهَا بِنَفَسَيْنِ: نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ، وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ، فَهُوَ أَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الْحَرِّ، وَأَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الزَّمْهَرِيرِ»
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."
أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الظُّهْرَ فَقَالَ أَبْرِدْ أَبْرِدْ أَوْ قَالَ انْتَظِرِ انْتَظِرْ وَقَالَ شِدَّةُ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا فَىْءَ التُّلُولِ
