Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا تَمِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْتَصِرِ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ شَرِيكٍ، عَنْ بَيَانٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ صَلاَةَ الظُّهْرِ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ فَقَالَ لَنَا ‏ "‏ أَبْرِدُوا بِالصَّلاَةِ فَإِنَّ شِدَّةَ الْحَرِّ مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Tamim ibn al-Muntasir al-Wasiti narrated to us: Ishaq ibn Yusuf narrated to us, from Sharik, from Bayan, from Qays ibn Abi Hazim, from al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah, who said: We used to pray Zuhr with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at midday, in the intense heat. He said to us: ‘Delay the prayer until it cools, for the intensity of the heat is from the blast of Hell.’
