Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 3099

وَعَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يُصَلِّي إِلَى جِذْعٍ وَكَانَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَرِيشًا ، وَكَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ شَيْئًا تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ حَتَّى تَرَى النَّاسَ - أَوْ قَالَ : يَرَاكَ النَّاسُ - وَحَتَّى يَسْمَعَ النَّاسُ خُطْبَتَكَ قَالَ : "نَعَمْ" فَصَنَعُوا لَهُ ثَلَاثَ دَرَجَاتٍ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - كَمَا كَانَ يَقُومُ فَصَغَا الْجِذْعُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ : " اسْكُنْ ، [ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ : " هَذَا الْجِذْعُ حَنَّ إِلَيَّ " فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اسْكُنْ ] إِنْ تَشَأْ غَرَسْتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْكَ الصَّالِحُونَ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ أُعِيدُكَ كَمَا كُنْتَ رَطْبًا ؟ " فَاخْتَارَ الْآخِرَةَ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - دُفِعَ إِلَى أُبَيٍّ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى أَكَلَتْهُ الْأَرَضَةُ .
قُلْتُ : رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ بِاخْتِصَارٍ .
رَوَاهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مِنْ زِيَادَاتِهِ فِي الْمُسْنَدِ ، وَفِيهِ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يُسَمَّ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ وَفِيهِ كَلَامٌ وَقَدْ وُثِّقَ .
Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray facing a palm trunk, and the mosque had a roof of (palm branches). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver the sermon leaning against that palm trunk. One of his Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! We will make something for you on which you can stand on Friday, so that you can see the people (the narrator is unsure whether the words were:) so that the people can see you, and so that the people can hear your sermon. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Very well." So they made a pulpit of three steps for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood upon it as he used to stand before, and that palm trunk began to cry for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to it: "Be calm." Then he said to his Companions: "This trunk is crying for my sake." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to it: "Be calm. If you wish, I will have you planted in Paradise and the righteous will eat from you; and if you wish, I will restore you to how you were before, fresh and green." It chose the Hereafter over this world. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, that trunk was given to Sayyiduna Ubayy, and it remained with him continuously until termites ate it away. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say:
Imam Ibn Majah recorded this narration in abridged form. Abdullah recorded it in his additions (Ziyadat) to Musnad Ahmad. Its chain contains a narrator whose name has not been mentioned, and a narrator, Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Aqil, about whom there has been criticism, though he has also been declared trustworthy.
