Summary
The two cool prayers in the hadith narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim are the Fajr (Subuh) prayer and the Asr prayer. Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, al-'Aini and al-Qurthubi give this meaning, and the prayers are so named because they are performed at cooler, less hot times of the day. The hadith states that whoever performs both will enter Paradise, and the text cites al-Qurthubi that one who preserves them well will not be entered into Hell.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
