Qasim bin Safwan narrates, on the authority of his father, this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Offer the Zuhr prayer in the cooler time, for the intensity of the heat is part of the blazing heat of Hell."
Ahmad recorded it, and al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Ibn Hibban declared the narrator named Qasim bin Safwan thiqah (trustworthy). Abu Hatim says: the narrator named Qasim bin Safwan is known only through this hadith.
