عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِنْدَ هَٰذِهِ السَّارِيَةِ وَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ جِذْعُ نَخْلَةٍ يَعْنِي يَخْطُبُ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver sermons beside this pillar, when it was just a trunk of a date-palm.
