It was
narrated from Anas that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to deliver the
sermon
leaning on a tree trunk. When he started to use the pulpit, he
went
to the pulpit, and the trunk made a sorrowful sound. So he came
to
it and embraced it, and it calmed down. He said:
“If I had not
embraced it, it would have continued to grieve until the Day of
Resurrection.”
