وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْوَزِيرِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ يَقُولُ: عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْعَبَّاسِ ؓ، قَالَ:
كُنَّا نَنْقُلُ الْحِجَارَةَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ حِينَ بَنَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ، فَكَانَتِ الرِّجَالُ تَنْقُلُ الْحِجَارَةَ، وَالنِّسَاءُ يَنْقُلْنَ الشِّيدَ، وَالشِّيدُ: مَا يُجْعَلُ بَيْنَ الصَّخْرِ، قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ ؓ: كُنْتُ أَنْقُلُ أَنَا وَابْنُ أَخِي مُحَمَّدٌ، فَكُنَّا نَنْقُلُ عَلَى رِقَابِنَا، وَنَجْعَلُ أُزُرَنَا تَحْتَ الصَّخْرِ، فَإِذَا غَشِيَنَا النَّاسُ اتَّزَرْنَا، فَبَيْنَا أَنَا وَمُحَمَّدٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ إِذْ وَقَعَ فَانْبَطَحَ، فَجِئْتُ أَسْعَى فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَإِذَا هُوَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: مَا شَأْنُكَ ؟ فَقَامَ فَاتَّزَرَ، فَقَالَ ﷺ: نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَمْشِيَ عُرْيَانًا، فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ ؓ: فَكَتَمْتُ ذَلِكَ النَّاسَ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَرَوْهُ جُنُونًا

✧ We were carrying stones to the House when Quraysh built it. The men carried stones, and the women carried mortar—mortar is what is placed between the rocks. Al-Abbas ؓ said: I and my nephew Muhammad were carrying stones on our necks and putting our lower garments under the rocks. When people came upon us, we would wrap ourselves. While I was with Muhammad in front of me, he fell and lay prostrate. I came running and reached him, and behold, he was looking at the sky. I said to him, 'What is the matter with you?' He stood up and wrapped himself, and said ﷺ, 'I was forbidden to walk naked.' Al-Abbas ؓ said: I kept that from the people for fear they would think it madness.
