حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ السَّمَّانُ، أَخْبَرَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي الْحُسَامِ الْمَدِينِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، عَنِ الطُّفَيْلِ بْنِ أُبَيٍّ،، ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي إِلَى جِذْعٍ إِذْ كَانَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَرِيشًا، وَكَانَ (١) يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ إِلَى جَانِبِ ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَلْ لَكَ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ لَكَ مِنْبَرًا تَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ، حَتَّى يَرَى النَّاسُ خُطْبَتَكَ؟ قَالَ: "نَعَمْ " فَصَنَعَ لَهُ ثَلَاثَ دَرَجَاتٍ هِيَ الَّتِي عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ. فَلَمَّا قُضِيَ الْمِنْبَرُ، وَوُضِعَ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ الَّذِي وَضَعَهُ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَدَا لِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَقُومَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْمِنْبَرِ، فَمَرَّ إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَاوَزَ الْجِذْعَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَيْهِ وَيَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ، خَارَ إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعُ حَتَّى تَصَدَّعَ وَانْشَقَّ، فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا سَمِعَ صَوْتَ الْجِذْعِ فَمَسَحَهُ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، وَكَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى مَعَ ذَلِكَ مَالَ إِلَى الْجِذْعِ يَقُولُ الطُّفَيْلُ: "فَلَمَّا هُدِمَ الْمَسْجِدُ وَغُيِّرَ أَخَذَ أَبُوهُ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ، ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعَ، فَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى بَلِيَ وَأَكَلَتْهُ الْأَرَضَةُ (٢) ، وَعَادَ رُفَاتًا " (٣)، •

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the roof of the Prophet's Mosque was made of grapevine branches, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray near a trunk and would lean against that trunk while delivering the sermon. One day, a companion (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Do you permit us to make something for you on which you can stand on Fridays so that people can see you and your sermon can reach them?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) granted them permission. Thus, they made a pulpit consisting of three steps. When the pulpit was completed and placed at the spot where the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) had instructed, and the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) passed by the trunk with the intention of ascending the pulpit, the trunk cried so much that it cracked and split from inside. Seeing this, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) returned and placed his hand on it until it became calm, and then the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) ascended the pulpit. However, when the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray, he would pray near it, and when the mosque was demolished and its structure was changed, Ubayy bin Ka'b took that trunk with him, and it remained with him until it became old and was infested by termites, which made it hollow.
