Chapter regarding the description of the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and what it was made from
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 12696 — regarding the description of the pulpit
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ كَانَ جِذْعُ نَخْلَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يُسْنِدُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَيْهِ، إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ جُمُعَةٍ، أَوْ حَدَثَ أَمْرٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ، فَقَالُوا: أَلَا نَجْعَلُ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! شَيْئًا كَقَدْرِ قِيَامِكَ؟ قَالَ: ”لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا.“ فَصَنَعُوا لَهُ مِنْبَرًا ثَلَاثَ مَرَاقٍ. قَالَ: فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ، قَالَ: فَخَارَ الْجِذْعُ كَمَا تَخُورُ الْبَقَرَةُ جَزَعًا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَالْتَزَمَهُ وَمَسَحَهُ حَتَّى سَكَنَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a date-palm trunk in the Prophet’s Mosque. On Fridays or on some special occasion, when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to address the people, he would stand with his back against it. The people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Should we not make something elevated for you to stand on? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That is fine, there is no harm in it. So they prepared a pulpit with three steps. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on it to deliver the sermon, the trunk, saddened by the separation from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), began to cry out loudly, like a cow cries out. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to it, embraced it, and placed his hand over it, and it became quiet.
