Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 2250 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray facing
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْجَوَارِبِيُّ ، قَالَ : نَا عَمِّي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ : نَا قَبِيصَةُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ قَالَ : نَا حِبَّانُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ حَيَّانَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يُصَلِّي إِلَى جِذْعٍ يَتَسَانَدُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَمَرَّ رُومِيٌّ ، فَقَالَ : لَوْ دَعَانِي مُحَمَّدٌ فَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَا هُوَ أَرْفَقُ بِهِ مِنْ هَذَا ، قَالَتْ : فَدُعِيَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- فَجَعَلَ لَهُ الْمِنْبَرَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَاقِيَ ، فَصَعِدَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَ ، فَحَنَّ الْجِذْعُ كَمَا تَحِنُّ النَّاقَةُ ، فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- ، فَقَالَ : مَا شَأْنُكَ ؟ إِنْ شِئْتَ دَعَوْتُ اللهَ فَرَدَّكَ إِلَى مُحْتَبَسِكَ ، وَإِنْ شِئْتَ دَعَوْتُ اللهَ فَأَدْخَلَكَ اللهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَأَثْمَرْتَ فِيهَا ، فَأَكَلَ مِنْ ثَمَرَتِكَ أَنْبِيَاءُ اللهِ الْمُرْسَلُونَ ، وَعِبَادُهُ الْمُتَّقُونَ I " ، قَالَ : فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- يَقُولُ : I " نَعَمْ I " ، فَغَارَ الْجِذْعُ ، فَذَهَبَ . لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ إِلَّا ابْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ ، وَلَا عَنِ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ إِلَّا صَالِحُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ ، وَلَا عَنْ صَالِحٍ إِلَّا حِبَّانُ ، وَلَا عَنْ حِبَّانَ إِلَّا قَبِيصَةُ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْجَوَارِبِيُّ .
The Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray facing a palm trunk and would lean against it. A Roman man passed by and said: "If Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) were to call me, I would make for him something more comfortable than this." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: So he was called for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he made for him a pulpit (minbar) of four steps. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended the pulpit and delivered the sermon, and the trunk wept just as a she-camel cries out at being separated from her young. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came down to it and said: "What is the matter with you? If you wish, I will supplicate to Allah to return you to your former place; and if you wish, I will supplicate to Allah to admit you into Paradise, where you will bear fruit, and the Messengers among the prophets of Allah and His God-fearing servants will eat of your fruit." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Yes." (That is, going to Paradise is accepted.) Then the trunk sank into the ground and was gone.
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) except Ibn Buraydah, no one from Ibn Buraydah except Salih bin Hayyan, no one from Salih except Hibban, and no one from Hibban except Qabisah; and Ali bin Ahmad al-Jawaribi is alone in narrating it."
