Hadith 2400

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، وَثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ , عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى جِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ ، فَلَمَّا اتَّخَذَ الْمِنْبَرَ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، فَحَنَّ الْجِذْعُ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَاحْتَضَنَهُ فَسَكَنَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَوْ لَمْ أَحْتَضِنْهُ ، لَحَنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that before the pulpit was built, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver the sermon leaning against the trunk of a date-palm tree. When the pulpit was made and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) moved towards the pulpit, that date-palm trunk began to weep out of grief at being separated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) embraced it to his chest and calmed it, so it became tranquil. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I had not calmed it, it would have continued to weep until the Day of Resurrection."
