Sahih al-Bukhari 535 (Book 9, Hadith 13) #516
Praying in Hot Weather

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) advised to wait for cooler weather before praying in hot weather, as the severity of heat is from the raging of Hell-fire.

Narrated Abu Dhar: The Mu'adh-dhin (call-maker) of the Prophet pronounced the Adhan (call) for the Zuhr prayer but the Prophet said, "Let it be cooler, let it be cooler". Or said, 'Wait, wait, because the severity of heat is from the raging of the Hell-fire. In severe hot weather, pray when it becomes (a bit) cooler and the shadows of hillocks appear".
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الْمُهَاجِرِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ، سَمِعَ زَيْدَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنُ النَّبِيِّ 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.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Wait for cooler weather before praying in hot weather

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that when it is very hot outside, we should wait until it cools down a bit and the shadows of hillocks appear before we pray. This is because the severity of heat comes from the raging fire of Hell. We should be mindful and take precautions to avoid any actions that could lead us to Hellfire. We should also remember that Allah loves those who are patient and take their time with their prayers, rather than rushing through them without thought or care.
