الإِبْرَادِ بِالظُّهْرِ فِي السَّفَرِ

Delaying the Zuhr prayer until it is cooler on a journey

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي سَفَرٍ، فَأَرَادَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ لِلظُّهْرِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَبْرِدْ ". ثُمَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُؤَذِّنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ " أَبْرِدْ ". حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا فَىْءَ التُّلُولِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلاَةِ ".

حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ بْنُ أَبِي إِيَاسٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُهَاجِرٌ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ، مَوْلًى لِبَنِي تَيْمِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيِّ، قَالَ

Translation

Abu Dharr reported: We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. The caller to prayer wanted to call the adhan for the Zuhr prayer, and the Prophet ﷺ said, “Wait for it to cool!” Then he wanted to call the adhan (again), and he said to him, “Wait for it to cool!” – until we saw the shade of the hillocks. Then the Prophet ﷺ said, “The intensity of the heat is from the raging heat of Hell; so when the heat becomes intense, pray when it is cooler.”

Abu Dharr berichtete: Wir waren mit dem Propheten ﷺ auf einer Reise. Der Gebetsrufer wollte zum Mittagsgebet rufen, da sagte der Prophet ﷺ: „Warte, bis es kühler wird!“ Dann wollte er (wieder) rufen, da sagte er zu ihm: „Warte, bis es kühler wird!“ – bis wir den Schatten der Hügel sahen. Da sagte der Prophet ﷺ: „Die Heftigkeit der Hitze kommt vom Gluthauch der Hölle; wenn die Hitze heftig ist, dann verrichtet das Gebet, wenn es kühler ist.“

Türkçe

Ebû Zer (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: Bir yolculukta Nebî ﷺ ile birlikteydik. Müezzin öğle için ezan okumak istedi. Nebî ﷺ: “Serinlet!” buyurdu. Sonra (yine) ezan okumak istedi; ona yine: “Serinlet!” buyurdu. Sonunda tepeciklerin gölgesini gördük. Bunun üzerine Nebî ﷺ: “Sıcağın şiddeti cehennemin kaynamasındandır; sıcak şiddetlendiğinde namazı serinlikte kılın” buyurdu.
