Hadith 5886

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي جَنَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ جِذْعُ نَخْلَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، يُسْنِدُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَيْهِ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ جُمُعَةٍ ، أَوْ حَدَثَ أَمْرٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ ، فَقَالُوا : أَلَا نَجْعَلُ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا كَقَدْرِ قِيَامِكَ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا " ، فَصَنَعُوا لَهُ مِنْبَرًا ثَلَاثَ مَرَاقٍ ، قَالَ : فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ ، قَالَ : فَخَارَ الْجِذْعُ كَمَا تَخُورُ الْبَقَرَةُ جَزَعًا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَالْتَزَمَهُ وَمَسَحَهُ ، حَتَّى سَكَنَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that there was a date-palm trunk in the Prophet’s Mosque, against which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lean while addressing the people on Fridays or on some important occasion. One day, some people said: O Messenger of Allah! Should we not make something for you according to your stature? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “There is no harm in doing so.” So they made a pulpit of three steps for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he sat upon it. Seeing this, the trunk began to weep like a cow weeps, and its weeping was due to the grief of separation from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) embraced it to his chest and stroked it with his hand until it became calm.
