Sunan Ibn Majah 1416
It was
narrated that Abu Hazim said:
“The people differed concerning
the
pulpit of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and what it was made of. So
they came to Sahl bin Sa’d and asked him. He said: ‘There is no
one
left who knows more about that than I. It is made of tamarisk (a
type
of tree) from Ghabah. It was made by so-and-so, the freed slave
of so-
and-so (a woman), (who was) a carpenter. He brought it and he
(the
Prophet (ﷺ)) stood on it when it was put in position. He faced
the
Qiblah and the people stood behind him. He recited Qur’an, then
bowed
and raised his head, then he moved backwards until he
prostrated on
the ground, then he went back to the pulpit and recited
Qur’an, then
bowed and raised his head, then he moved backwards
until he prostrated
on the ground.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ فِي مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ هُوَ فَأَتَوْا سَهْلَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَقَالَ مَا بَقِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَعْلَمَ بِهِ مِنِّي هُوَ مِنْ أَثْلِ الْغَابَةِ عَمِلَهُ فُلاَنٌ مَوْلَى فُلاَنَةَ نَجَّارٌ فَجَاءَ بِهِ فَقَامَ عَلَيْهِ حِينَ وُضِعَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ وَقَامَ النَّاسُ خَلْفَهُ فَقَرَأَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَرَجَعَ الْقَهْقَرَى حَتَّى سَجَدَ بِالأَرْضِ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَرَأَ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ فَقَامَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ الْقَهْقَرَى حَتَّى سَجَدَ بِالأَرْضِ ‏.‏
