Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، سَمِعَ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الظُّهْرَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَبْرِدْ أَبْرِدْ ـ أَوْ قَالَ ـ انْتَظِرِ انْتَظِرْ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ شِدَّةُ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ، فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ الْحَرُّ فَأَبْرِدُوا عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ ‏" ‏‏.‏ حَتَّى رَأَيْنَا فَىْءَ التُّلُولِ‏.‏

Translation

Ibn Bashshar narrated to us: Ghundar narrated to us: Shu‘ba narrated to us, from al-Muhajir Abu al-Hasan, who heard Zaid bin Wahb, from Abu Dharr, who said: The Prophet’s caller announced the noon prayer. He said, ‘Let it cool—let it cool,’ or, ‘Wait—wait.’ He added, ‘Intense heat comes from the breath of Hell, so when the heat becomes intense, delay the prayer until it cools.’ We waited until we saw the shadows of the hills.
