Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday. Then an Ansari woman or man said. O Allah's Apostle! Shall we make a pulpit for you? He replied, If you wish. So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (for delivering the sermon). The datepalm cried like a child! The Prophet descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child being quietened. The Prophet said, It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it.

When the Prophet delivered a sermon, he used to stand by one of those trunks till the pulpit was made for him, and he used it instead. Then we heard the trunk sending a sound like of a pregnant she-camel till the Prophet came to it, and put his hand over it, then it became quiet.
Read More..Narrated Hudhaifa: Once `Umar bin Al-Khattab said, said, Who amongst you remembers the statement of Allah's Apostle regarding the afflictions? Hudhaifa replied, I remember what he said exactly. `Umar said. Tell (us), you are really a daring man!'' Hudhaifa said, Allah's Apostle said, 'A man's afflictions (i.e. wrong deeds) concerning his relation to his family, his property and his neighbors are expiated by his prayers, giving in charity and enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil.' `Umar said, I don't mean these afflictions but the afflictions that will be heaving up and down like waves of the sea. Hudhaifa replied, O chief of the believers! You need not fear those (afflictions) as there is a closed door between you and them. `Umar asked, Will that door be opened or broken? Hudhaifa replied, No, it will be broken. `Umar said, Then it is very likely that the door will not be closed again. Later on the people asked Hudhaifa, Did `Umar know what that door meant? He said. Yes, `Umar knew it as everyone knows that there will be night before the tomorrow morning. I narrated to `Umar an authentic narration, not lies. We dared not ask Hudhaifa; therefore we requested Masruq who asked him, What does the door stand for? He said, `Umar.
