Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 5860 — Abu Hazim (may Allah have mercy on him)

حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى، ثنا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ يَسْأَلُ عَنِ الْمِنْبَرِ: مِنْ أَيِّ عُودٍ هُوَ؟ فَقَالَ: أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى فُلَانَةَ، امْرَأَةٍ سَمَّاهَا، فَقَالَ: «مُرِي غُلَامَكِ النَّجَّارَ يَعْمَلُ لِي أَعْوَادًا أُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا» ، فَعَمِلَ لَهُ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثَ الدَّرَجَاتِ مِنْ طَرْفَاءِ الْغَابَةِ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَعْنِي الدَّرَجَاتِ - فَوُضِعَتْ بِهَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ، قَالَ سَهْلٌ: فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ جَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا فَكَبَّرَ، وَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ، فَنَزَلَ الْقَهْقَرَى، فَسَجَدَ فِي أَصْلِ الْمِنْبَرِ، ثُمَّ عَادَ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ آخِرِ صَلَاتِهِ، يَصْنَعُ فِيهَا كَمَا صَنَعَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ هَذِهِ لِتَأْتَمُّوا بِي، وَلِتَعْلَمُوا صَلَاتِي»
Abu Hazim (may Allah have mercy on him) relates that he heard Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa'd al-Sa'idi (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was being asked about the pulpit: what wood was it made of? He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to a woman, whom he named, and said: "Tell your slave, the carpenter, to make me some pieces of wood on which I can sit and address the people." So he made these three steps for him from the tamarisk wood of al-Ghabah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the order, and they were placed in this spot. Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the first day he sat on it: he said the takbir, and the people said the takbir behind him; then he bowed while on the pulpit, then raised his head, then stepped down backwards and prostrated at the foot of the pulpit; then he went back up, until he completed his prayer, doing in the rest of it just as he had done in the first rak'ah. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished, he turned to the people and said: "O people, I did this only so that you would follow me and learn my prayer."
