Hadith 3430

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ وَيُونُسُ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمَّارٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ ، فَلَمَّا صُنِعَ الْمِنْبَرُ فَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَيْهِ ، حَنَّ الْجِذْعُ ، فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ ، فَسَكَنَ ، وَقَالَ : " لَوْ لَمْ أَحْتَضِنْهُ لَحَنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that before the pulpit was made, 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 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."
