5.34 It is recommended to pray Zuhr at the beginning of its time when there is no intense heat

٥۔٣٤ باب اسْتِحْبَابِ تَقْدِيمِ الظُّهْرِ فِي أَوَّلِ الْوَقْتِ فِي غَيْرِ شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ

The Apostle of Allah ﷺ used to offer the noon prayer when the sun declined.  

مسلم:٦١٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ يَحْيَى الْقَطَّانِ وَابْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الظُّهْرَ إِذَا دَحَضَتِ الشَّمْسُ  

muslim:619aAbū Bakr b. Abū Shaybah > Abū al-Aḥwaṣ Salāam b. Sulaym > Abū Isḥāq > Saʿīd b. Wahb > Khabbāb

We complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ (the difficulty of) saying prayer on the intensely heated (ground or sand), but he paid no heed to our complaint.  

مسلم:٦١٩aوَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ سَلاَّمُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ خَبَّابٍ قَالَ

شَكَوْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الصَّلاَةَ فِي الرَّمْضَاءِ فَلَمْ يُشْكِنَا  

muslim:619bAḥmad b. Yūnus And ʿAwn b. Salāam > ʿAwn > Ibn Yūnus > Zuhayr > Abū Isḥāq > Saʿīd b. Wahb > Khabbāb

We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we complained to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about (saying prayer) on the extremely heated ground (or sand), but he paid no heed to us. Zuhair said: I asked Abu Ishaq whether it was about the noon prayer. He said: Yes. I again said whether it concerned the (offering) of the noon (prayer) in earlier hours. He said: Yes. I said: Did it concern expediting it? He said: Yes.  

مسلم:٦١٩bوَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ وَعَوْنُ بْنُ سَلاَّمٍ قَالَ عَوْنٌ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ ابْنُ يُونُسَ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ خَبَّابٍ قَالَ

أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَشَكَوْنَا إِلَيْهِ حَرَّ الرَّمْضَاءِ فَلَمْ يُشْكِنَا قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ قُلْتُ لأَبِي إِسْحَاقَ أَفِي الظُّهْرِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ أَفِي تَعْجِيلِهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ  

muslim:620Yaḥyá b. Yaḥyá > Bishr b. al-Mufaḍḍal > Ghālib al-Qaṭṭān > Bakr b. ʿAbdullāh > Anas b. Mālik

We used to say (the noonprayer) with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the intense heat, but when someone amongst us found it hard to place his forehead on the ground, he spread his cloth and prostrated on it.  

مسلم:٦٢٠حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ غَالِبٍ الْقَطَّانِ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدُنَا أَنْ يُمَكِّنَ جَبْهَتَهُ مِنَ الأَرْضِ بَسَطَ ثَوْبَهُ فَسَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ
