When the Ka`ba was built, the Prophet (ﷺ) and `Abbas went to bring stones (for its construction). Al
`Abbas 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.

(the wife of the Prophet) that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to her, "Do you know that when your people
(Quraish) rebuilt the Ka`ba, they decreased it from its original foundation laid by Abraham?" I said,
"O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why don't you rebuild it on its original foundation laid by Abraham?" He replied,
"Were it not for the fact that your people are close to the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they
have recently become Muslims) I would have done so." The sub-narrator, `Abdullah (bin `Umar )
stated: `Aisha 'must have heard this from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for in my opinion Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had not
placed his hand over the two corners of the Ka`ba opposite Al-Hijr only because the Ka`ba was not
rebuilt on its original foundations laid by Abraham.
