An Ansari woman said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall I make something for you to sit
on, as I have a slave who is a carpenter?" He replied, "If you wish." So, she got a pulpit made for him.
When it was Friday the Prophet (ﷺ) sat on that pulpit. The date-palm stem near which the Prophet (ﷺ) used to
deliver his sermons cried so much so that it was about to burst. The Prophet (ﷺ) came down from the
pulpit to the stem and embraced it and it started groaning like a child being persuaded to stop crying
and then it stopped crying. The Prophet (ﷺ) said,"It has cried because of (missing) what it use to hear of
the religions knowledge."
