Explanation of the Book of Prayer-02

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh :"And from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

When it is very hot, then wait for it to cool down before you pray, for intense heat is from the flaring up of the Hell-fire.

إذا اشتد الحر فأبردوا بالصلاة ، فإن شدة الحر من فيح جهنم

Sunan Ibn Majah 677Sahih (Darussalam)

. Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim" His statement:

When the heat becomes intense

إذا اشتد الحر

So the meaning is

When the heat becomes intense

إذا اشتد الحر

that is: when the hot seasons arrive, which is the season of scorching heat that some people call the summer season, and some people call it the summer season. Yes. And his statement:

so when the heat is violent, offer (the Zuhr) prayer when it becomes cooler.

إذا اشتد الحر فأبردوا بالصلاة

Sunan Abi Dawud 401Sahih (Al-Albani)

The "al" here in "delay" means: postpone it until the air cools down. The prayer intended here is the midday prayer, because it is the one that occurs during the intense heat. Then he said:

The severity of the heat is from the raging of Hell.

إن شدة الحر من فيح جهنم

Sahih al-Bukhari 629

that is: from its fumes and its heat. The reason for this is

That the Fire complained to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), so Allah the Exalted permitted it to have two breaths: one breath in the summer and one breath in the winter. The most intense heat we find is from the summer breath, and the most intense cold we find is from the winter breath

أن النار اشتكت إلى الله عز وجل فأذن الله تعالى لها بنفسين نفس في الصيف ونفس في الشتاء فأشد ما نجد من الحرارة هذا من نفس الصيف وأشد ما نجد من البرودة هذا من نفس الشتاء

and this knowledge that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of is not reached by astronomers with their knowledge and intellects, because it is something beyond what they know. But we believe that what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said is truth, without doubt. Hell is one of the names of the Fire. May Allah protect us and you from it.
