حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد أَبُو الْحَسَنِ هُوَ مُهَاجِرٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَقُولُ کُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَرَادَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ الظُّهْرَ فَقَالَ أَبْرِدْ ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ فَقَالَ أَبْرِدْ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا حَتَّی رَأَيْنَا فَيْئَ التُّلُولِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلَاةِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 401
Abu Dharr said: We were in the company of the Prophet ﷺ. The muadhdhin intended to call for the Zuhr prayer. He said: Make it cooler. He then intended to call for prayer. He said twice or thrice: Make it cooler. We then witnessed the shadow of the mounds. He then said: The intensity of heat comes from the bubbling over of the Hell ; so when the heat is violent, offer (the Zuhr) prayer when it becomes cooler.
