English translation

401. Abū Dharr narrated: "We were (once) with the Prophet ﷺ. The Mu'adh-dhin wanted to call the Adhān for Zuhr, but he told him: '(Let it) get cooler.' He then wanted to call the Adhān, but he said: '(Let it) get cooler.' And this happened twice or thrice, until we (were able to) see the shadow of small mounds of dirt. He then said, 'Verily, the extremity of the heat is due to an exhalation from Hell. So when the heat becomes severe, then pray the Salāt at a cooler (time)." (Sahih)

Arabic text

401 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ هُوَ مُهَاجِرٌ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يَقُولُ: كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرَادَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ الظُّهْرَ فَقَالَ: «أَبْرِدْ». ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ فَقَالَ: «أَبْرِدْ» - مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا - حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا فَيْءَ التُّلُولِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «إِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلَاةِ»
