Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the heat becomes intense, perform the prayer at a cooler time, because the severity of heat is due to the boiling of the Hellfire. Hell complained to its Lord, saying: O my Lord, some parts of mine have consumed other parts due to the intensity of the heat. So Allah, the Exalted, allowed it two breaths: one breath in the winter and one breath in the summer. Thus, the extreme heat and extreme cold that you experience are due to this.
