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.
