917. Narrated Abū Hāzim bin Dīnār: Some people went to Saḥl bin Sa'd Aṣ-Ṣā'idi and told him that they had different opinions regarding the wood of the pulpit. They asked him about it and he said, "By Allāh, I know of what wood the pulpit was made, and no doubt I saw it on the very first day when Allāh's Messenger ﷺ took his seat on it. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ sent for such and such an Anṣārī woman (and Sahl mentioned her name) and said to her, 'Order your slave-carpenter to prepare for me a pulpit on which I may sit at the time of addressing the people.' So, she ordered her slave-carpenter and he made it from the tamarisk of the forest and brought it (to the woman). The woman sent that (pulpit) to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ who ordered it to be placed here. Then I saw Allāh's Messenger ﷺ offering Ṣalāt (prayer) on it and then bowed on it. Then he stepped back, got down and prostrated on the ground near the foot of the pulpit and again ascended the pulpit. After finishing the Ṣalāt (prayer) he faced the people and said, 'I have done this so that you may follow me and learn the way I offer the Ṣalāt (prayer).'"

917 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدٍ القَارِيُّ القُرَشِيُّ الإِسْكَنْدَرَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَازِمِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، أَنَّ رِجَالًا أَتَوْا سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ، وَقَدْ امْتَرَوْا فِي المِنْبَرِ مِمَّ عُودُهُ، فَسَأَلُوهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ مِمَّا هُوَ، وَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ وُضِعَ، وَأَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ جَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى فُلاَنَةَ - امْرَأَةٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ قَدْ سَمَّاهَا سَهْلٌ - «مُرِي غُلاَمَكِ النَّجَّارَ، أَنْ يَعْمَلَ لِي أَعْوَادًا، أَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهِنَّ إِذَا كَلَّمْتُ النَّاسَ» فَأَمَرَتْهُ فَعَمِلَهَا مِنْ طَرْفَاءِ الغَابَةِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهَا، فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَمَرَ بِهَا فَوُضِعَتْ هَا هُنَا، ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى عَلَيْهَا وَكَبَّرَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهَا، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ القَهْقَرَى، فَسَجَدَ فِي أَصْلِ المِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ عَادَ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّمَا صَنَعْتُ هَذَا لِتَأْتَمُّوا وَلِتَعَلَّمُوا صَلاَتِي»
