[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to lean against a trunk (of a tree) and said, 'the people have increased, and if I had something (i.e., a pulpit) that I could sit on'. Abbas went and brought the branches of the pulpit from the forest. I do not know if my father made it or utilized it."  

أحمد:٢٢٨٥٤ – حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ فَقَالَ قَدْ كَثُرَ النَّاسُ وَلَوْ كَانَ لِي شَيْءٌ يَعْنِي أَقْعُدُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ فَذَهَبَ أَبِي فَقَطَعَ عِيدَانَ الْمِنْبَرِ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ قَالَ فَمَا أَدْرِي عَمِلَهَا أَبِي أَوْ اسْتَعْمَلَهَا ؟
