“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stand by the root of a tree, or by a tree trunk, then he started to use a pulpit. The tree trunk made a grieving sound.” Jabir said: “So that the people in the mosque could hear it. Until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to it and rubbed it, and it calmed down. Some of them said: ‘If he had not come to it, it would have grieved until the Day of Resurrection.’”
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُومُ فِي أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ أَوْ قَالَ إِلَى جِذْعٍ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذَ مِنْبَرًا قَالَ فَحَنَّ الْجِذْعُ قَالَ جَابِرٌ حَتَّى سَمِعَهُ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَسَحَهُ فَسَكَنَ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَوْ لَمْ يَأْتِهِ لَحَنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
