Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stand by a tree on Friday. A woman or a man of the Ansar said: O Messenger of Allah, shall we not make a minbar? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, then make it." So they made a minbar. When Friday came and he (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the minbar, that palm trunk began to cry like a child. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came down from the minbar and drew it close to himself, and it fell silent. He said: It was crying because of the remembrance (dhikr) it used to hear.
