Sahih al-Bukhari 3666 (Book 63, Hadith 54)

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: When the Ka`ba was rebuilt, the Prophet (ﷺ) and `Abbas went to carry stones. `Abbas said to the Prophet (ﷺ)
“(Take off and) put your waist sheet over your neck so that the stones may not hurt you.” (But as soon
as he took off his waist sheet) he fell unconscious on the ground with both his eyes towards the sky.
When he came to his senses, he said, “My waist sheet! My waist sheet!” Then he tied his waist sheet
(round his waist).

حَدَّثَنِي مَحْمُودٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ لَمَّا بُنِيَتِ الْكَعْبَةُ ذَهَبَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَعَبَّاسٌ يَنْقُلاَنِ الْحِجَارَةَ، فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم اجْعَلْ إِزَارَكَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِكَ يَقِيكَ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ، فَخَرَّ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، وَطَمَحَتْ عَيْنَاهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ فَقَالَ ‏
“‏ إِزَارِي إِزَارِي ‏”‏‏.‏ فَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارَهُ‏.‏
