"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  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

bukhari:629Muslim b. Ibrāhīm > Shuʿbah > al-Muhājir Abū al-Ḥasan > Zayd b. Wahb > Abū Dhar

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."

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَرَادَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبْرِدْ ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبْرِدْ ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبْرِدْ حَتَّى سَاوَى الظِّلُّ التُّلُولَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ {إِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ}

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).

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.

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."

[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.'"

[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.'"
