The weeping of the pulpit on missing the Prophet ﷺ
Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of Jâbir Ibn ‘Abdullâh who said: “The Prophet ﷺ used to stand by the trunk of a date-palm (palm trees were used as the pillars of the mosque), while delivering a sermon. When the pulpit was placed for him heard that trunk crying like a pregnant she-camel till the Prophetﷺ got down from the pulpit and placed his hand over it (he silenced it)
Imâm al-Bukhârî also narrated on the authority of Jâbir Ibn ‘Abdullâh who said that “The Prophet ﷺused to stand by a tree or a date-palm (trunk) on Friday. Then an Ansârî woman or man said: “O Allâh’s Messenger!ﷺ Shall we make a pulpit for you?” He replied: “If you wish”. So, they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (to deliver the sermon). The date-palm (trunk) cried like a child! The Prophetﷺ descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being rendered quiet. The Prophet ﷺsaid: “It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it.
The stones glorify Allâh in the palm of the Prophetﷺ
Imâm al-Baihaqî narrated on the authority Abû Dharr who said: “I saw ‘Uthmân one day in a situation, after which I never mentioned him except with all that is good. I was a man who used to follow the Prophet ﷺin his seclusion. One day, I we saw him sitting on his own, so I entered to sit with him. Abû Bakr then entered, greeted him and sat on his right, and ‘Umar came in and sat to the right of Abû Bakr. Then, ‘Uthmân came and sat to the right of ‘Umar. The Prophet ﷺ had seven or nine stones in his hand. He took them in his palm, and they started to glorify (say Tasbîh) Allâh, until we heard them moaning (like the trunk of the datepalm). When the Messenger of Allâhﷺ put them down, they became silent. The Prophet ﷺthen took them and put them in the palm of Abû Bakr, and they started glorifying Allâh (say Tasbîh) until we heard them moaning (like the trunk of the date-palm), and when he put them down they became silent. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺtook them again and put them in the hand of ‘Umar, and they started to glorify Allâh, until we heard them crying like the trunk of the datepalm, and when he put them down they became silent. The Prophetﷺ then put them in the had of ‘Uthmân, and they started to glorify Allâh until we heard them moaning like the trunk of the date-palm, and then he put them down, so they became silent. The Prophet ﷺthen said: “This is the Khilafah (succession) of Prophethood”.
Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of Ibn Mas’ûd who said: “We heard the meal glorifying Allâh when it was being eaten (by Nabi Pakﷺ)”.
