Sahih Muslim 340b (Book 3, Hadith 94) #7942
The Prophet's Modesty

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad was helping to carry stones for the Ka'ba when his uncle suggested he take off his lower garment and place it on his shoulders. He did so, but then fainted. After that day, he was never seen without clothing again.

Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah was carrying along with them (his people) stones for the Ka'ba and there was a waist wrapper around him. His uncle," Abbas, said to him: 0 son of my brother! if you take off the lower garment and place it on the shoulders underneath the stones, it would be better. He (the Holy Prophet) took it off and placed it on his shoulder and fell down unconscious. He (the narrator) said: Never was he seen naked after that day.
وَحَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَنْقُلُ مَعَهُمُ الْحِجَارَةَ لِلْكَعْبَةِ وَعَلَيْهِ إِزَارُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ عَمُّهُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي لَوْ حَلَلْتَ إِزَارَكَ فَجَعَلْتَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِكَ دُونَ الْحِجَارَةِ - قَالَ - فَحَلَّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ فَسَقَطَ مَغْشِيًّا عَلَيْهِ - قَالَ - فَمَا رُؤِيَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عُرْيَانًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the modesty of the Prophet Muhammad and how it should be emulated by all Muslims. It is narrated by Jabir b. 'Abdullah who reported that while carrying stones for the Ka'ba, the Prophet's uncle suggested that he take off his lower garment and place it on his shoulders underneath the stones as a way to protect himself from any harm or injury. The Prophet followed this advice but then fainted due to exhaustion from carrying such a heavy load. After this incident, he was never seen without clothing again which shows how important modesty is in Islam and how we should strive to emulate this example set by our beloved prophet in our own lives.
