[Machine] When the messenger of Allah ﷺ became old and his voice became weak, he said, "Let us not have a pulpit that you have to carry or assemble or a word that strains your bones for me. Instead, make for me two or three steps to sit on." So the Prophet ﷺ ascended the pulpit and leaned against a trunk that was in the mosque. Whenever the messenger of Allah ﷺ would deliver a sermon, he would lean against it. Then, the Prophet ﷺ descended and hugged it and said something unknown to me. Then he ascended the pulpit. The pillars of the mosque were trunks and its roofs were made of palm leaves." Al-Bukhari narrated from Abu Asim, who narrated it from Ibn Abi Rawwad, and he mentioned it.
