English translation

1397. Jâbir bin 'Abdullâh said: “When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ delivered the Khuṭbah, he used to lead against a palm tree trunk that formed one of the pillars of the Masjid. When the Minbar was made and he sat down on it, that pillar made a sound like the groaning of a camel, which the people of the Masjid heard, until the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came down and embraced it, then it fell silent.” (Saḥīh)

Arabic text

1396 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، أَنَّ أَبَا الزُّبَيْرِ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، يَقُولُ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا خَطَبَ يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَى جِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَلَمَّا صُنِعَ الْمِنْبَرُ وَاسْتَوَى عَلَيْهِ، اضْطَرَبَتْ تِلْكَ السَّارِيَةُ كَحَنِينِ النَّاقَةِ حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ، حَتَّى نَزَلَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاعْتَنَقَهَا فَسَكَتَتْ»

Commentary

1. “It was apparently the Prophet’s ﷺ miracle, that from the trunk of a tree, the sound of crying like that of the pregnant she-camel, which was about to deliver its offspring, was emanating. All those people who were present heard it. Thereupon, the Prophet’s ﷺ conducting himself to it affectionately calmed it down - this was another of the Prophet’s ﷺ miracles. 2. To stand on the Minbar signifies the prayer-leader’s merit, so he would be visible to every one. All would hear his voice. It would be convenient to sit down between the two sermons.
