[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to lean against a tree trunk. When the people increased, he said, "The people have increased, so if there was a pulpit, I would sit on it." Abbas said, "My father went and cut some tree branches from the forest, but I do not know what he did with them or if he used them."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ النَّاسُ قَالَ «إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ كَثُرُوا فَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْبَرٌ أَقْعُدُ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ فَذَهَبَ أَبِي فَقَطَعَ عِيدَانَ الْمِنْبَرِ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ فَلَا أَدْرِي عَمِلَهَا أَوِ اسْتَعْمَلَهَا
