675 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ مُضَرِّبٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ، عَنْ خَبَّابٍ، قَالَ: «شَكَوْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَرَّ الرَّمْضَاءِ، فَلَمْ يُشْكِنَا» قَالَ: الْقَطَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ نَحْوَهُ

Commentary
a. The Companions' plea was to the effect that the sun turns the sand burning hot, and prostration for the Zuhr prayer over it becomes difficult during summer, would it not, therefore, be better to delay the prayer until the sand cools down a little? The Prophet ﷺ did not concede to the implied request, but continued to lead the prayer early even in the hot season. b. Some other Ahādīth do speak of delaying the Zuhr prayer during the hot season (as we shall see under Ahādīth in Chapter 4) but it only means a slight delay, not so much that it should push the worshippers towards the end of the prayer time.
