Hadith 1241
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "إِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلَاةِ، فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ" . قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّد: هَذَا عِنْدِي عَلَى التَّأْخِيرِ إِذَا تَأَذَّوْا بِالْحَرِّ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "When the heat becomes intense, perform the prayer at a cooler time, because the severity of the heat is from the steam of Hell." Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In my view, this applies to the time when the heat is distressing.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Hadith 1240)
In this hadith, there is an instruction to perform the Zuhr (noon) prayer with some delay during intense heat, but not to such an extent that the time for the Asr (afternoon) prayer arrives. Some people perform the Zuhr prayer when the shadow becomes equal to the object (one shadow-length), but it is established from the blessed ahadith that the beginning time for Asr is when the shadow becomes equal to the object (one shadow-length), and this is also the opinion of the majority of scholars.
