Hadith #582
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَنَابٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ كَانَ جِذْعُ نَخْلَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يُسْنِدُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَيْهِ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ جُمُعَةٍ أَوْ حَدَثَ أَمْرٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُكَلِّم
َ النَّاسَ فَقَالُوا أَلَا نَجْعَلُ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا كَقَدْرِ قِيَامِكَ قَالَ لَا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا فَصَنَعُوا لَهُ مِنْبَرًا ثَلَاثَ مَرَاقٍ قَالَ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَخَارَ الْجِذْعُ كَمَا تَخُورُ الْبَقَرَةُ جَزَعًا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَالْتَزَمَهُ وَمَسَحَهُ حَتَّى سَكَنَ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Husayn, from Khalaf, from Abu Janab, from his father — that he said: 'There was a palm trunk in the mosque against which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to lean his back on Fridays — or whenever he wished to address the people. They said: "Shall we not make something for you the height of your standing position, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "It is up to you." So they made him a minbar of three steps. When he sat upon it, the trunk moaned as a cow moans — in longing for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He embraced it and stroked it until it calmed down.'
