أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُومُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُجْعَلَ الْمِنْبَرُ فَلَمَّا جُعِلَ الْمِنْبَرُ حَنَّ ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعُ حَتَّى سَمِعْنَا حَنِينَهُ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَكَنَ.
Jabir ibn ‘Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to lean against a date palm trunk before making of the pulpit. Then when the pulpit was made, this trunk began to weep such that we could hear it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then placed his hand on it, and it calmed down.
