The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to stand at the trunk of a tree, or he said at a palm-stump, and then a pulpit was made for him. The stump moaned in longing.Jabir said, "The people of the mosque heard it, until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to it and stroked it, and it became still."Some of them said, "Had he not come to it, it would have continued moaning until the Day of Resurrection."
حدثنا أبو بشر بكر بن خلف حدثنا ابن أبي عدي عن سليمان التيمي عن أبي نضرة
كان رسول الله ﷺ يقوم إلى أصل شجرة أو قال إلى جذع ثم اتخذ منبرا قال فحن الجذع قال جابر حتى سمعه أهل المسجد حتى أتاه رسول الله ﷺ فمسحه فسكن فقال بعضهم لو لم يأته لحن إلى يوم القيامة
Sourcing, [sahih] Ahmad narrated it, 3/306, from Muhammad bin Abu Adi with this chain, and Busiri said, "Its isnad is sahih," and Ibn Kathir said, "This meets the standard of Muslim" (Bidayah wan-Nihayah, 6/128).I say, the hadith of the yearning trunk stump (hanin al-jidh) is well established through multiple transmissions (mutawatir), as noted in Qatf al-Azhar al-Mutanathirah fil-Akhbar al-Mutawatirah by Suyuti, page 98.
