[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent to a woman named Fulanah, saying, "Tell your servant, the carpenter, to make sticks for me to address the people." He made these three steps from the wood of the forest, and the Prophet ﷺ ordered them to be placed in this position. Sahl said, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ sit on them on the first day. He then performed the takbir, and the people behind him also performed the takbir. Then he bowed while on the pulpit, and he descended to the lowest part of the pulpit and prostrated. He then returned until he finished his prayer, performing in it as he did in the first rak'ah. When the Prophet ﷺ finished, he turned to the people and said, 'O people, I did this so that you may follow my lead and learn my prayer.'"
أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَى فُلَانَةَ امْرَأَةٍ سَمَّاهَا فَقَالَ «مُرِي غُلَامَكِ النَّجَّارَ يَعْمَلُ لِي أَعْوَادًا أُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا» فَعَمِلَ لَهُ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثَ الدَّرَجَاتِ مِنْ طَرْفَاءِ الْغَابَةِ فَأَمَرَ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعْنِي الدَّرَجَاتِ فَوُضِعَتْ بِهَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ قَالَ سَهْلٌ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ جَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا فَكَبَّرَ وَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَزَلَ الْقَهْقَرَى فَسَجَدَ فِي أَصْلِ الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ عَادَ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ آخِرِ صَلَاتِهِ يَصْنَعُ فِيهَا كَمَا صَنَعَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا فَعَلْتُ هَذِهِ لِتَأْتَمُّوا بِي وَلِتَعْلَمُوا صَلَاتِي»
