Hadith 11281
عَنِ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْرُبُ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ يُصَلِّي إِلَى جِذْعٍ إِذْ كَانَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَرِيشًا وَكَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ نَجْعَلَ لَكَ شَيْئًا تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ حَتَّى يَرَاكَ النَّاسُ وَتُسْمِعَهُمْ خُطْبَتَكَ قَالَ ”نَعَمْ“ فَصُنِعَ لَهُ ثَلَاثُ دَرَجَاتٍ اللَّاتِي عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَلَمَّا صُنِعَ الْمِنْبَرُ وَوُضِعَ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ الَّذِي وَضَعَهُ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الْمِنْبَرَ مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُ خَارَ الْجِذْعُ حَتَّى تَصَدَّعَ وَانْشَقَّ فَرَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَسَحَهُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى سَكَنَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى صَلَّى إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا هُدِمَ الْمَسْجِدُ وَغُيِّرَ أَخَذَ ذَاكَ الْجِذْعَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى بَلِيَ وَأَكَلَتْهُ الْأَرَضَةُ وَعَادَ رُفَاتًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When the mosque was made of palm trunks and branches, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray beside one of the palm trunks and would deliver the sermon standing next to it. One companion submitted: O Messenger of Allah! If you permit, we can prepare something for you upon which you can stand and deliver the Friday sermon, so that everyone can see you and you can easily make your address heard by all. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That is fine. So a pulpit with three steps was made for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When the pulpit was ready and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had it placed in its spot, he passed by that trunk to go to the pulpit, and the trunk began to cry profusely until it split apart. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned to it, placed his blessed hand upon it until it became calm. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went towards the pulpit. Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray, he would pray near that trunk. When the mosque was demolished and its structure changed, that trunk was taken by Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him); it remained with him until it decayed, termites ate it, and it crumbled into pieces.
Hadith 11282
((وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) بِنَحْوِهِ) وَفِيهِ فَصَنَعُوا لَهُ ثَلَاثَ دَرَجَاتٍ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَمَا كَانَ يَقُومُ فَصَغَى الْجِذْعُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ”اسْكُنْ“ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ ”هَذَا الْجِذْعُ حَنَّ إِلَيَّ“ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”اسْكُنْ إِنْ تَشَأْ غَرَسْتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَتَأْكُلَ مِنْكَ الصَّالِحُونَ وَإِنْ تَشَأْ أَعِيدُكَ كَمَا كُنْتَ رَطْبًا“ فَاخْتَارَ الْآخِرَةَ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ دُفِعَ إِلَى أُبَيٍّ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى أَكَلَتْهُ الْأَرَضَةُ
(Second chain of narration) In this it is stated that the companions prepared a pulpit with three steps for you. When the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up to deliver the sermon as usual, that trunk began to weep at being separated from you. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to it: Be silent. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to the companions: This trunk has wept at my separation. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to it: Be silent. If you wish, I will plant you in Paradise so that the righteous may eat your fruit, and if you wish, I will restore you to freshness as before. So it preferred the Hereafter over the world. When the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passed away, that trunk was handed over to Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka'b, may Allah be pleased with him. It remained with him until it was eaten away by termites.
Hadith 11283
عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا خَطَبَ يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَى جِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمَّا صُنِعَ لَهُ مِنْبَرُهُ اسْتَوَى عَلَيْهِ فَاضْطَرَبَتْ تِلْكَ السَّارِيَةُ كَحَنِينِ النَّاقَةِ حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى نَزَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَاعْتَنَقَهَا فَسَكَنَتْ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَسَكَتَتْ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lean against a date-palm trunk among the pillars of the mosque while delivering the sermon. When a pulpit was prepared for him and he stood upon it, that trunk began to cry restlessly like a she-camel. Its sound was heard by everyone present in the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) descended from the pulpit and embraced the trunk to his chest, whereupon it became silent.
Hadith 11284
(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى جِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ قَالَ فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَ لَهَا غُلَامٌ نَجَّارٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي غُلَامًا نَجَّارًا أَفَآمُرُهُ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ لَكَ مِنْبَرًا تَخْطُبُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ ”بَلَى“ قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ خَطَبَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ فَأَنَّ الْجِذْعُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يَئِنُّ الصَّبِيُّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِنَّ هَذَا بَكَى لِمَا فَقَدَ مِنَ الذِّكْرِ“
(Second chain of narration) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to deliver sermons standing beside a date-palm trunk. An Ansari woman, whose slave was a carpenter, said to him: O Messenger of Allah! I have a slave who is a carpenter; should I have him make a pulpit for you to deliver sermons from? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Yes, why not. Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, says: When, on the day of Jumu’ah, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood on the pulpit to deliver the sermon, the trunk beside which he used to stand began to weep like a child. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: It wept because it was deprived of the blessing of the remembrance of Allah that used to take place near it.
Hadith 11285
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَلَمَّا اتَّخَذَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَيْهِ حَنَّ عَلَيْهِ فَأَتَاهُ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ فَسَكَنَ قَالَ ”وَلَوْ لَمْ أَحْتَضِنْهُ لَحَنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that before the pulpit was prepared, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stand near a pillar and deliver the sermon. When the pulpit was prepared and he (peace and blessings be upon him) moved there, that trunk began to weep. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came near it and embraced it to his chest, and it became silent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If I had not embraced it to my chest, it would have continued to weep until the Day of Resurrection.
