Hadith 36
اُردوEn
أَخْبَرَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ، عَنْ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يُصَلِّي إِلَى جِذْعٍ وَيَخْطُبُ إِلَيْهِ إِذْ كَانَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَرِيشًا، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ: أَلَا نَجْعَلُ لَكَ عَرِيشًا تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ يَرَاكَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، وَتُسْمِعُ مِنْ خُطْبَتِكَ ؟، قَالَ: "نَعَمْ"، فَصُنِعَ لَهُ الثَّلَاثَ دَرَجَاتٍ، هُنَّ اللَّوَاتِي عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، فَلَمَّا صُنِعَ الْمِنْبَرُ وَوُضِعَ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ الَّذِي وَضَعَهُ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُرِيدُ الْمِنْبَرَ مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُ، خَارَ الْجِذْعُ حَتَّى تَصَدَّعَ وَانْشَقَّ، فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَسَحَهُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى سَكَنَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، قَالَ: فَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى، صَلَّى إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا هُدِمَ الْمَسْجِدُ أَخَذَ ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى بَلِيَ فَأَكَلَتْهُ الْأَرَضَةُ وَعَادَ رُفَاتًا.
Tufail narrated from his father, Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), that when the roof of the (Prophet's) Mosque was supported by trunks, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray beside a date-palm trunk and would lean on it while delivering the sermon. One of his companions said, "Shall we not make a place for you to sit, upon which you may stand so that people can see you and hear your sermon?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted it, so a pulpit with three steps was made, and it was placed where he ordered. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came and proceeded towards the pulpit, passing by the trunk, it began to cry like a bull, bursting with sobs. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand on it, and it became quiet. He then proceeded to the pulpit. He used to pray beside that trunk, and when the Prophet's Mosque was renovated, Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) took the trunk, and it remained with him until it decayed, termites ate it, and it crumbled into pieces.

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Delivering the sermon while standing is Sunnah.
➋ The sermon should be delivered on the pulpit (minbar).
➌ Carpentry is a permissible profession.
➍ In some narrations, it is mentioned that the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said to an Ansari woman that she should have her slave make a pulpit, and she had it made. It is possible that initially a man suggested this idea, and after that, the slave was told to make it, and later the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) himself reminded the Ansari woman. And Allah knows best.
➎ The imam and leader should accept the good opinion or suggestion of their followers.
➏ When the pulpit was first made, it had three steps. After the Noble Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), more steps were added below it, making it higher.
➐ Apparently inanimate objects also possess consciousness and feeling, but we cannot perceive it.
➑ The crying of the date-palm trunk with such a sound that everyone heard it is a miracle.
➒ It is permissible to keep items related to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) as a means of seeking blessing (tabarruk), provided that the authenticity of this attribution is certain.
➓ The aforementioned narration has been declared weak in chain (sanadan da'if) by our esteemed researcher. However, other scholars, such as Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, have graded it hasan, and the researchers of al-Mawsu'ah al-Hadithiyyah have graded it sahih li ghayrihi. They have also written in detail regarding this narration; see: (al-Mawsu'ah al-Hadithiyyah, Musnad al-Imam Ahmad: 35/171, 172). Therefore, despite the aforementioned narration being weak in chain, it is still actionable and a valid proof.
