Observe the ZUHR at a late hour in severe heat
Sayyidina Abu Hurayrah (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger said, “When the heat is severe postpone the Salah till it is cooler because the severity of heat is the effect of the violence of Hell.”
[Ahmed 7834, Bukhari 536, Muslim 615, Abu Dawud 401, Nasai 496, Ibn e Majah 678]
[Ahmed 7834, Bukhari 536, Muslim 615, Abu Dawud 401, Nasai 496, Ibn e Majah 678]
Sayyidina Abu Dharr (RA) said that Allah's Messenger (PBUH) was on a journey and Sayyidina Bilal (RA) was with him too. He intended to call the IQAMAH for the Salah of ZUHR, but the Prophet (PBUH) said, “Let it cool down!” Then he again intended to call. Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said, “Let it be cooler for the ZUHR”, till they saw the shadows of hillocks and called the IQAMAH and offered the Salah of ZUHR. Then Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said, “The extreme heat is the severity of Hell. So, observe the Salah of ZUHR when it is cooler.”

*********************************
Seeing Ahadith at both the topics with observation, it seems that usually it is better to say ZUHR early yet when the weather is much hot, it is better to say it at its final time. Today, when people are much involved in business or service to fulfil their physical obligations, it seems much feasible that ZUHR is said at its final time that falls near to the last part of the lunch-time as observed today and would not affect the routine or the SALAH adversely. Note that people are usually at rest at FAJR and so there the care about ease is not needed so taking the adaptability of people into account FAJR is better to say early yet at ZUHR, care about ease is better putting it at the very last of lunch-time as that is the rush-occasion for all people at work. It is interesting to note that Respectable TIRMIDHI preferred ZUHR at its final time even then at his era so there is some margin to make it a routine at these times. Also note that the Ahadith at topic-5 do not challenge this stance of reading it late as the narration by Bibi Ayesha is comparative in nature so he might have read it late too at occasions (though there is a narration by Bibi AYESHA that does not support this delay in any way; see Hadith-174 but also note that it is a weak narration) and the other Hadith here narrated by Anas ibn Maalik only tells the time for ZUHR that is at ZAWAAL so that stays till ASR.
