Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The Fire made a complaint before the Lord saying." O Lord, some parts of mine have consumed the others." So it was allowed to take two exhalations, one exhalation in winter and the other exhalation in summer. That is why you find extreme heat (in summer) and extreme cold (in winter).

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: When it is hot, make delay (in the noon prayer) till it cools down, for the intensity of heat is from the Exhalation of Hell; and he also mentioned that the Hellfire complained to the Lord (about the congested atmosphere) and so it was permitted to take two exhalation during the whole year, one exhalation during the winter and one exhalation during the summer.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The Fire said to the Lord: O Lord! some parts of mine have consumed the others, so allow me to exhale (in order to find some relief from this congestion). It was granted permission to take two exhalations, one exhalation during the winter and the other exhalation during the summer So whatever you perceive in the form of intense cold or hurting cold is from the exhalation of Hell. And whatever you perceive in the form of extreme heat or intense beat is from the exhalation of Hell.

Jabir bin ahadeeth reported: The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to offer the noon prayer when the sun declined.

Khabbab reported: We complained to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (the difficulty of) saying prayer on the intensely heated (ground or sand), but he paid no heed to our complaint.

Khabbab reported: We came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and we complained to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) about (saying prayer) on the extremely heated ground (or sand), but he paid no heed to us. Zuhair said: I asked Abu Ishaq whether it was about the noon prayer. He said: Yes. I again said whether it concerned the (offering) of the noon (prayer) in earlier hours. He said: Yes. I said: Did it concern expediting it? He said: Yes.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: We used to say (the noonprayer) with the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in the intense heat, but when someone amongst us found it hard to place his forehead on the ground, he spread his cloth and prostrated on it.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to pray the afternoon prayer when the sun was high and bright, then one would go off to al-'Awali and get there while the sun was still high. Ibn Qutaiba made no mention of" one would go off to al-'Awali".

This hadith that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used to offer the afternoon prayer like the one narrated above has been transmitted by Anas bin Malik (RA) by another chain of transmitters.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: We used to offer the 'Asr prayer, then one would go to Quba' and reach there and the sun would be still high.
