Ubayy bin Kaab reported,

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stand close to a palm trunk when the mosque was still a simple shelter, and he would deliver his sermons leaning against that trunk. One of his companions said to him, "Messenger of Allah, would you not have something made for you to stand upon on Fridays so that the people can see you and hear your sermon?"He replied, "Yes."So three steps were made for him, which became the pulpit. When the pulpit was made and placed in the spot where the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had it set, he intended to go to the pulpit and passed by the trunk. When he had gone past it, the trunk moaned until it cracked and split open. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ returned and stroked it with his hand until it grew quiet, then he went back to the pulpit. Whenever he prayed, he would pray facing it.When the mosque was later torn down and rebuilt, Ubayy bin Kaab took that trunk and kept it with him until it wore away, the termites ate it, and it crumbled into dust.

حدثنا زكريا بن عدي أخبرنا عبيد الله بن عمرو عن عبد الله بن محمد بن عقيل

عن الطفيل بن أبي بن كعب عن أبيه قال

كان رسول الله ﷺ يقرب إلى جذع إذ كان المسجد عريشا وكان يخطب إلى ذلك الجذع فقال رجل من أصحابه يا رسول الله هل لك أن تجعل لك شيئا تقوم عليه يوم الجمعة حتى يراك الناس وتسمعهم خطبتك قال نعم فصنع له ثلاث درجات اللاتي على المنبر فلما صنع المنبر ووضع في موضعه الذي وضعه فيه رسول الله ﷺ فلما أراد أن يأتي المنبر مر عليه فلما جاوزه خار الجذع حتى تصدع وانشق فرجع رسول الله ﷺ فمسحه بيده حتى سكن ثم رجع إلى المنبر وكان إذا صلى صلى إليه فلما هدم المسجد وغير أخذ ذاك الجذع أبي بن كعب فكان عنده حتى بلي وأكلته الأرضة وعاد رفاتا
