الإِبْرَادِ بِالظُّهْرِ فِي شِدَّةِ الْحَرِّ

Delaying the Zuhr prayer until it is cooler in intense heat

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلاَةِ، فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ "." وَاشْتَكَتِ النَّارُ إِلَى رَبِّهَا فَقَالَتْ يَا رَبِّ أَكَلَ بَعْضِي بَعْضًا. فَأَذِنَ لَهَا بِنَفَسَيْنِ نَفَسٍ فِي الشِّتَاءِ، وَنَفَسٍ فِي الصَّيْفِ، فَهُوَ أَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الْحَرِّ، وَأَشَدُّ مَا تَجِدُونَ مِنَ الزَّمْهَرِيرِ ".

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ حَفِظْنَاهُ مِنَ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،

Translation

Abu Hurairah reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, “When the heat becomes intense, pray when it is cooler, for the intensity of the heat is from the raging heat of Hell. The Fire complained to its Lord and said, ‘O my Lord, parts of me have devoured other parts.’ So He permitted it two breaths: one breath in winter and one breath in summer. That is the most intense heat you feel and the most intense cold you feel.”

Abu Huraira berichtete: Der Prophet ﷺ sagte: „Wenn die Hitze heftig ist, dann verrichtet das Gebet, wenn es kühler ist, denn die Heftigkeit der Hitze kommt vom Gluthauch der Hölle. Das (Höllen-)Feuer beklagte sich bei seinem Herrn und sagte: ‚O mein Herr, ein Teil von mir hat den anderen verzehrt.‘ Da erlaubte Er ihm zwei Atemzüge: einen Atemzug im Winter und einen Atemzug im Sommer. Das ist die heftigste Hitze, die ihr spürt, und die heftigste Kälte, die ihr spürt.“

Türkçe

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Nebî ﷺ şöyle buyurdu: “Sıcak şiddetlendiğinde namazı serinlikte kılın; çünkü sıcağın şiddeti cehennemin kaynamasındandır. Cehennem Rabbine şikâyet ederek: ‘Ey Rabbim, bir kısmım diğer kısmımı yedi’ dedi. Bunun üzerine Allah ona iki nefes izni verdi: biri kışın, biri yazın. İşte bu, hissettiğiniz en şiddetli sıcak ve hissettiğiniz en şiddetli soğuktur (zemheri).”
