When the Kaʿba was built, the Prophet ﷺ and ʿAbbas went to bring stones (for its construction). Al ʿAbbas said to the Prophet, "Take off your waist sheet and put it on your neck." (When the Prophet ﷺ took it off) he fell on the ground with his eyes open towards the sky and said, "Give me my waist sheet." And he covered himself with it.
لَمَّا بُنِيَتِ الْكَعْبَةُ ذَهَبَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَعَبَّاسٌ يَنْقُلاَنِ الْحِجَارَةَ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ اجْعَلْ إِزَارَكَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِكَ فَخَرَّ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَطَمَحَتْ عَيْنَاهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ أَرِنِي إِزَارِي فَشَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
