2. Book of Ṣalāh
٢۔ كِتَابُ الصَّلَاةِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to lean against a trunk before the pulpit was set up. When the pulpit was set up, he missed that trunk and we heard him longing for it. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his hand on it and tranquility prevailed.
«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»
“If I had not embraced it, it would have continued to grieve until the Day of Resurrection.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1415)
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَلَمَّا اتَّخَذَ الْمِنْبَرَ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَيْهِ حَنَّ الْجِذْعُ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ فَسَكَنَ وَقَالَ «لَوْ لَمْ أَحْتَضِنْهُ لَحَنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ»
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مِثْلَهُ
[Machine] The people in the city increased, causing the man to come and the people to come, and they could hardly hear the words of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ before they returned from him. The people said to him, "O Messenger of Allah, the people have increased, and the one coming cannot hardly hear your words." He said, "So what do you want?" So he sent to a boy of the Ansar, a carpenter's wife, and to the outskirts of the forest, and they made for him two or three pulpits. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would sit on them and deliver his sermon. When they did that, the wooden plank on which he used to stand softened. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and placed his hand on it, and it became still.
كَثُرَ النَّاسُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَجِيءُ وَالْقَوْمُ يَجِيئُونَ فَلَا يَكَادُونَ ْ يَسْمَعُون كَلَامَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى يَرْجِعُوا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ كَثُرُوا وَإِنَّ الْجَائِيَ يَجِيءُ فَلَا يَكَادُ يَسْمَعُ كَلَامَكَ قَالَ «فَمَا شِئْتُمْ» فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَى غُلَامٍ لِامْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ نَجَّارٍ وَإِلَى طَرْفَاءِ الْغَابَةِ فَجَعَلُوا لَهُ مِرْقَاتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِ وَيَخْطُبُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ حَنَّتِ الْخَشَبَةُ الَّتِي كَانَ يَقُومُ عِنْدَهَا فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَيْهَا فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا فَسَكَنَتْ
