Abu Hazim narrates that people differed regarding the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), as to what it was made from. So they sent a person to ask Sayyiduna Sahl (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said: "There is no one left among the people who knows this matter better than me. It was made from the wood of the jungle tamarisk tree." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "'Al-Athl' refers to 'At-Tarfa' (a tree similar to tamarisk)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat on the pulpit, he said to the people: "Sit down." Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this command of yours while he was at the door of the mosque, so he sat down (right there). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Ibn Mas'ud, come (inside)."

Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver two sermons on the day of Jumu'ah, and he would sit between them. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I heard Bandaar say that Imam Yahya bin Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) used to regard Shaykh Bakrawi as of high status and would honor and respect him.

Abu Wa'il narrates that Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered to us a very eloquent and concise sermon. Then when he descended from the pulpit, we said to him, "O Abu Yaqzan, you have delivered a very eloquent and concise sermon; if you had made it longer, it would have been better." He replied, "Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Verily, the lengthening of a man's prayer and the brevity of his sermon are signs of his understanding (fiqh). Therefore, make the prayer long and the sermon short. For indeed, some speech has the effect of magic.'" Abdul Rahman bin Abdul Malik bin Abjar narrated similarly as above, but did not mention the words: "If you had made the sermon longer, it would have been better."

Imam Abu Bakr, may Allah have mercy on him, says that in the hadith of Sayyiduna Jabir bin Samurah, may Allah be pleased with them both, it is mentioned that the sermon of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to be moderate.

In the narration of Hazrat Hakam bin Huzn from the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him), it is mentioned that the Prophet (peace be upon him) praised Allah Almighty and glorified Allah with pure, concise, and blessed words.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah used to praise Allah in a manner befitting His Majesty in his sermon, then he would say: "Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide him, and whomever He lets go astray, none can guide him. Surely, the best speech is the Book of Allah (the Noble Qur'an), and the best way is the way and conduct of Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the worst matters are those newly invented in the religion. Every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is misguidance, and misguidance leads to the Fire." Then he (peace be upon him) would say: "I and the Hour have been sent like these two fingers (close together)." And when he mentioned the Hour, his cheeks would become red, his voice would rise, and he would become extremely angry, as if he were warning against an invading army. The Hour may be established in the morning, the Hour may come at night. Then he (peace be upon him) would say: "Whoever leaves behind wealth, it is for his heirs, and whoever leaves behind debt or children, then it is my responsibility, and I will take care of them, and I am the guardian and friend of the believers." These are the words of the hadith of Ibn Mubarak. The wording of the hadith of Anas bin 'Iyad is different from this.

The daughter of Haritha bin Nu’man narrates that I memorized Surah Qaf after hearing it from the blessed mouth of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him); he used to recite this Surah every Friday, and our oven and the oven of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) were the same. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the daughter of Haritha is Umm Hisham bint Haritha.
