Narrated by Khalid bin Dinar: Our leader led us in Friday prayer, then he asked Anas: "How did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray Zuhr?" He said: "When it was extremely cold, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would hasten the prayer, and when it was extremely hot, he would delay it."
Narrated by Anas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would hasten the prayer when it was very cold, and delay it when it was very hot. [Narrated by Al-Nasa’i, and its narrators are trustworthy from the Sahih]
Ali Al-Qari said: This is how the conflicting narrations regarding Zuhr are reconciled: that he would hasten it and that he would delay it. As for the narration that speaks of hastening it even during extreme heat, Al-Bayhaqi said that it was abrogated.

ف: ملا علی قاری رحمہ اللہ نے کہا ہے کہ نماز ظہر کے بارے میں متعارض حدیثیں وارد ہوئی ہیں
بعض حدیثوں سے بلا قید موسم تعجیل ثابت ہوتی ہے اور بعض احادیث سے بلا قید موسم تاخیر، اور یہ تعارض
اس باب کی حدیثوں سے اس طرح دور ہو جاتا ہے کہ جن حدیثوں میں تعجیل ظہر مذکور ہے وہ موسم سرما
سے متعلق ہیں اور جن حدیثوں میں تاخیر ظہر مذکور ہے وہ موسم گرما سے متعلق ہیں اور جن حدیثوں سے
موسم گرما میں بھی تعجیل ظہر ثابت ہے ایسی حدیثوں کے متعلق بیہقی کا قول ہے کہ ایسی حدیثیں منسوخ ہیں۔12
Narrated by Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When it is intensely hot, then delay the prayer – and in another narration from Bukhari, from Abu Sa'id: ‘delay Zuhr prayer.’ The intense heat is from the scorching breath of Hell. The Fire complained to its Lord and said: 'O my Lord, some of me have consumed the rest of me.' So, He allowed it two breaths: one in winter and one in summer. The most intense heat that you experience is from it, and the most intense cold is from its freezing cold." [Agreed upon] And in a narration from Bukhari: "The most intense heat you experience is from its poisonous breath, and the most intense cold is from its freezing cold."
Narrated by Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When it is a hot day, delay the prayer, for the intense heat is from the scorching breath of Hell."
Narrated by Al-Mughira bin Shu'ba: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in Zuhr prayer at midday, then said: "The intense heat is from the scorching breath of Hell, so delay the prayer." [Narrated by At-Tahawi]
Al-Mughira mentioned in this narration that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed to delay Zuhr prayer after previously praying it during the heat, which establishes the abrogation of hastening Zuhr during intense heat, and it is now necessary to delay it in such heat.
(اس کی روایت طحاوی نے کی ہے) اور امام طحاوی نے کہا ہے کہ مغیرہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے اس
حدیث میں خبر دی ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے حکم دیا کہ نماز ظہر تاخیر کر کے ٹھنڈے وقت
پڑھیں اور یہ حکم حضور صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے اس وقت دیا کہ آپ اس حکم کے دینے سے پہلے نماز ظہر کو
گرمی میں ابتدائی وقت ادا فرمایا کرتے تھے، اس سے یہ ثابت ہوا کہ سخت گرمی میں نماز ظہر کا ابتدائی
وقت میں پڑھا جانا منسوخ ہو گیا اور نماز ظہر کو گرمی میں تاخیر کر کے ٹھنڈے وقت پڑھنا واجب ہو گیا۔
Narrated by Abu Dharr: We were traveling with the Prophet ﷺ, and when the muezzin was about to call the adhan, the Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Delay." Then the muezzin attempted to call the adhan again, and the Prophet ﷺ said: "Delay," and again he said: "Delay," until the shadow was equal to the hilltops. The Prophet ﷺ then said: "Indeed, the intense heat is from the scorching breath of Hell."

مثل ہو گیا (حدیث شریف کے الفاظ ”حَتّٰى سَاوَى الظِّلُّ التُّلُولَ“ (یہاں تک کہ ٹیلوں کا سایہ
ٹیلوں کے ایک مثل ہو گیا ہے) سے اس بات کا ثبوت ملتا ہے کہ ظہر کا وقت ایک مثل کے اور بھی باقی
رہتا ہے اس کی وجہ یہ ہے کہ اشیاء منبسطہ (بچھی چیزیں جو پھیلی ہوئی ہوں جیسے ٹیلہ وغیرہ) کا سایہ جب
ایک مثل ہوتا ہے تو اشیاء مُنْتَصِبَہ (یعنی ایسی چیزیں جو کھڑی ہوئی ہوں جیسے لاٹھی وغیرہ) کا سایہ دو
مثل کے قریب پہنچ جاتا ہے۔ (ماخوذ از اعلاء السنن۔12)(یعنی عام چیزوں کا سایہ ان کے دو مثل
کے قریب پہنچا اور اس وقت ظہر ادا کی گئی) اور نبی صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے ارشاد فرمایا کہ گرمی کی شدت
جہنم کی بھاپ سے ہوتی ہے۔ (اس کی روایت بخاری نے کی ہے۔)
Narrated by Abu Dharr: We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ at a place, and Bilal called the adhan. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Wait, O Bilal," and then when he wanted to call again, he said: "Wait, O Bilal," and then when he tried to call again, he said: "Wait, O Bilal," until we saw the sun. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: "The intense heat is from the scorching breath of Hell. So, delay the prayer when the heat intensifies." [Narrated by At-Tahawi, and a similar narration is narrated by Tirmidhi]
He said: The interpretation of the delay of Zuhr prayer during intense heat is more in line with following the Sunnah. As for the view of Imam Shafi'i, which suggests the concession is for those who travel long distances or for people who face difficulty, the narration from Abu Dharr contradicts what Imam Shafi'i said. If it were as Imam Shafi'i said, there would have been no reason for delaying prayer during that time, especially when they were all in the journey and did not need to travel from a distance.

ف: ترمذی نے وضاحت کی ہے کہ جن ائمہ نے (جیسے امام اعظم، امام احمد اور ابن مبارک
وغیرہم رحمہم اللہ) نے یہ مسلک اختیار کیا ہے کہ سخت گرمی میں نماز ظہر میں تاخیر کی جائے یہ قول پیروی
کیلئے مُرَجَّح اور اولیٰ ہے اور امام شافعی رحمہ اللہ نے جو مسلک اختیار کیا ہے کہ گرمی کے موسم میں
تاخیر ظہر کی رخصت ان لوگوں کیلئے ہے جو دور سے آتے ہیں اس لئے ان کی مشقت دور کرنے کیلئے
تاخیر کا حکم دیا گیا حالانکہ ابوذر رضی اللہ عنہ کی اس حدیث میں جو واقعہ مذکور ہے وہ امام شافعی رحمہ اللہ کے
قول کی تائید نہیں کرتا کیونکہ امام شافعی رحمہ اللہ نے جس مسلک کو اختیار کیا ہے اگر وہ درست ہوتا تو سفر کی
حالت میں ابراد (یعنی ٹھنڈے وقت میں) نماز ظہر پڑھنا ایک بے معنی بات ہو جاتی، کیونکہ نماز ادا
کرنے والے حالت سفر میں تھے اور ایک جگہ جمع تھے اور ان کو اس بات کی ضرورت نہیں تھی کہ دور سے
آکر اکٹھے ہوں۔ (یہ پورا مضمون ترمذی میں مذکور ہے۔)
Narrated by Abdul Wahid bin Nafi': I entered the mosque of Kufa, and the muezzin called the adhan for Asr.

Its chain of narration is authentic, and its narrators meet the criteria of authenticity.
Narrated by Ziad bin Abdullah Al-Nakha'i: We were sitting with Ali bin Abi Talib in the Grand Mosque when the muezzin called the prayer. Ali told him to sit down. He sat down, and then the muezzin returned and called again. Ali said: "This dog is teaching us how to pray." Ali then got up and led the Asr prayer. After we finished, we returned to the place where we had been sitting, and we looked toward the horizon waiting for sunset. [Narrated by Hakim, who said: The chain of narration is authentic, though it was not [Narrated by Bukhari or Muslim, and Darqutni narrated something similar.
Narrated by Ikrimah: We were with Abu Huraira at a funeral, and he did not pray the Asr prayer and remained silent. We asked him repeatedly, but he did not pray it until we saw the sun at the top of the tallest mountain in Madinah.
Narrated by Anas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "That is the prayer of the hypocrite. He sits and waits for the sun until it turns yellow and is between the two horns of Shaytan. Then he gets up and offers four rak'ahs, not remembering Allah in them except for a little."
Narrated by Buraidah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Make the prayer early on a cloudy day, for whoever delays the Asr prayer, his deeds are nullified."
Narrated by Martad ibn Abdullah: Abu Ayyub came to us as a warrior, and Uqbah ibn Amir was in charge of Egypt at that time. He delayed the Maghrib prayer. Abu Ayyub stood up and said: "What is this prayer, O Uqbah?" He replied: "We were busy." Abu Ayyub said: "Did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'My Ummah will remain in good condition—as long as they do not delay the Maghrib prayer until the stars begin to appear.'"
Narrated by Rafi' ibn Khadij: We prayed Maghrib with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when we finished, one of us could still see the location of his arrow.
Narrated by Abdul Aziz ibn Rufa'i: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Hasten the daytime prayer on a cloudy day, and delay the Maghrib prayer." [Narrated by Abu Dawood in his Mursal narrations]

Narrated by Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If I did not find it difficult for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to delay the Isha prayer until a third of the night or half of it."
Narrated by Nu‘man ibn Bashir: "I know the time for this prayer, the last night prayer (Isha). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pray it when the moon had completely set, around the third part of the night."
Narrated by Abdullah ibn Umar: "One night, we waited for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the last Isha prayer. He came out when a third of the night had passed, or maybe even later. We didn't know if something had delayed him due to his family or something else. He said: 'You are waiting for a prayer that no other people wait for like you. If it were not for the hardship of my Ummah, I would have prayed this prayer at this time.' Then he instructed the muezzin to call for prayer, and he led the prayer."

Narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri: "We prayed Isha with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he did not come out until half the night had passed. He said, 'Take your seats.' We sat down, and he said, 'The people have prayed and gone to their beds, but as long as you are waiting for the prayer, you are still in prayer. If it were not for the weakness of the weak and the illness of the sick, I would have delayed this prayer until the middle of the night.'"
Narrated by Amr ibn Dinar: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever misses the Isha prayer until its time has passed, his eyes have not slept properly.'"
