Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 5898

Sayyidah al-Shumus bint al-Nu'man (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, I looked at the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He dismounted from his mount and laid the foundation of this mosque, that is, the Mosque of Quba. I saw him carrying stones until the stone made him bend over, and I saw the whiteness of the dust on his stomach (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) on his navel. One of his Companions came and said: "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Messenger of Allah! Give it to me; I will do this work in your place." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No! You take another stone like it," until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had its foundation laid. He said: "Jibril is indicating the direction of the Ka'bah." The narrator says: So it used to be said that this mosque has the most accurate qiblah direction.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
