Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd narrates: I was sitting with a maternal relative of mine from the Ansar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Go out to the forest and bring me wood from there, and make a pulpit for me so that I may sit on it and speak to the people." So he made him a pulpit with two steps, and he would sit on it. (Allamah al-Haythami says:) I say: A hadith from him about the making of the pulpit is also recorded in the Sahih, but it is different from this narration.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains Ubayd bin Waqid, who is da'if (weak).
