Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ used to deliver sermons while leaning against a date-palm trunk. When he had a pulpit made, he moved towards it, so the trunk began to weep until the Prophet ﷺ held it and embraced it, then it became calm. The Prophet ﷺ said that if I had not embraced it, it would have continued to weep until the Day of Resurrection.
