[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to deliver his sermons leaning against a palm tree trunk. A woman from the Ansar (Medinan residents who supported the Prophet) said, "I have a carpenter son, O Messenger of Allah. Should I command him to make a pulpit for you, upon which you can deliver your sermons?" He replied, "Yes." So, a pulpit was made for him. Then on a Friday, he delivered a sermon on the pulpit. He noticed that the trunk on which he used to lean, which looked like a crying child, was weeping. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, this trunk is weeping for what it has lost from remembering Allah."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى جِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ كَانَ لَهَا غُلَامٌ نَجَّارٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي غُلَامًا نَجَّارًا أَفَلَا آمُرُهُ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ لَكَ مِنْبَرًا تَخْطُبُ عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَاتَّخَذَ لَهُ مِنْبَرًا قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ خَطَبَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ قَالَ فَأَنَّ الْجِذْعُ الَّذِي كَانَ يَقُومُ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يَئِنُّ الصَّبِيُّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ هَذَا بَكَى لِمَا فَقَدَ مِنَ الذِّكْرِ
