Sahih al-Bukhari 3829 (Book 63, Hadith 54) #3657
The Importance of Safety Measures

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) and 'Abbas were helping to rebuild the Ka'ba, and 'Abbas advised the Prophet (ﷺ) to tie his waist sheet around his neck so that he would not be hurt by the stones. However, when he took off his waist sheet, he fell unconscious on the ground.

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: When the Ka'ba was rebuilt, the Prophet and 'Abbas went to carry stones'.Abbas said to the Prophet "(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 وَعَبَّاسٌ يَنْقُلاَنِ الْحِجَارَةَ، فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ اجْعَلْ إِزَارَكَ عَلَى رَقَبَتِكَ يَقِيكَ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ، فَخَرَّ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، وَطَمَحَتْ عَيْنَاهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِزَارِي إِزَارِي ‏"‏‏.‏ فَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارَهُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how important it is to take safety measures when doing any kind of work. In this case, it was rebuilding the Ka’ba. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and ‘Abbas were carrying stones for this purpose when ‘Abbas suggested that Muhammad ﷺ should tie a waist sheet around his neck so that he would not be hurt by them. However, as soon as Muhammad ﷺ took off his waist sheet, he fell unconscious on the ground with both eyes towards the sky. This shows us how important it is to take safety precautions even if they seem unnecessary at first because they can save us from harm in unexpected ways. It also teaches us to always listen carefully to advice given by those who are more experienced than us in certain matters because their wisdom can help protect us from danger or harm in ways we may not have thought of ourselves.
