What did the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) do to protect himself against the heat during the month of Ramadan?
 Abu Darda' (Allah be pleased with him) reported:                      We set out during the month of Ramadan with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) in such an intense heat that one of us would place his hand over his head (in order to protect himself) against the excessive heat, and none among us was observing the fast, except the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and 'Abdullah b. Rawaha.
