It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when (before Prophethood) the Ka'bah was being rebuilt, Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also began to carry stones. Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: To protect yourself from the pain of the stones, remove your waistcloth and place it on your neck. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted his suggestion, but as soon as he did so, he (peace and blessings be upon him) fell unconscious to the ground and his eyes turned towards the sky. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) got up and said: My cloak, give me my cloak. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and tied his cloak. The words of another narration are as follows: He fell unconscious, and after that, he was never seen in a naked state.
