It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver sermons leaning on a wooden trunk. When the pulpit was made, that wooden trunk began to weep like a she-camel weeps for its young. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to it and placed his blessed hand on it, and it became quiet.
