pronounce the Adhan (call) for the Zuhr prayer. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘Let it become cooler.” He again
(after a while) wanted to pronounce the Adhan but the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him, “Let it become cooler till
we see the shadows of hillocks.” The Prophet (ﷺ) added, “The severity of heat is from the raging of the
Hell-fire, and in very hot weather pray (Zuhr) when it becomes cooler.”
Sahih al-Bukhari 527 (Book 9, Hadith 16)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
