CHAPTER: The Time For Zurh Prayer.
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: I would offer my noon prayer with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and took a handful of gravels so that they might become cold in my hand and I placed them (before me) so that I may put my forehead on them at the time when I would prostrate. I did this due to the intensity of heat.
Abu Dharr said: We were in the company of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم. 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.
Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم as saying: When the heat is violent, offer (the Zuhr) prayer when it becomes fairly cool, for the violent heat comes from the bubbling over the Hell.
Jabir bin Samurah reported that Bilal used to call for the noon prayer when the sun had declined.
