Hadith 1779
نا نا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَلاءِ ، ثنا سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ ، قَالَ : اخْتَلَفُوا فِي مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ ؟ فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ , فَقَالَ : " مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَدٌ أَعْلَمَ بِهِ مِنِّي , هُوَ مِنْ أَثْلِ الْغَابَةِ " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : الأَثْلُ هُوَ الطَّرْفَاءُ
Abu Hazim narrates that people differed regarding the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), as to what it was made from. So they sent a person to ask Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "There is no one left among the people who knows this matter better than me. It was made from the wood of the jungle tamarisk tree." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "'Al-Athl' refers to 'At-Tarfa' (a tree similar to tamarisk)."
