English translation
2095. Narrated Jābir bin 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنها: An Anṣārī woman said to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, "O Allāh's Messenger! 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 Khutba (religious talks), 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 used to hear of the religious knowledge." (See Vol. 4, Hadīth No. 3583).
