It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon while leaning against a trunk, when a Roman man came to him and said, "Shall I make a pulpit for you on which you can stand and deliver the sermon?" So he made a pulpit for him, which you see today. The narrator said: When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on that pulpit to deliver the sermon, the trunk began to weep like a young she-camel cries with a thin voice. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) descended and went to the trunk, embraced it, and it became quiet. He ordered that a pit be dug and it be buried.
