Muwatta Malik #28
The Times of Prayer
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، مَوْلَى الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَعَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ " . وَذَكَرَ " أَنَّ النَّارَ اشْتَكَتْ إِلَى رَبِّهَا فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ بِنَفَسَيْنِ نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ " .
Malik related to us from Abdullah ibn Yazid the mawla of al-Aswad
ibn Sufyan, from Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman from Muhammad ibn Abd
ar-Rahman ibn Thawban from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah,
may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When the heat is
fierce delay the prayer until it gets cooler, for scorching heat is a
part of the blast of Jahannam."
He added, "The Fire
complained to its Lord, so He allowed it two breaths in each year, a
breath in winter and a breath in summer."
