Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم used to deliver sermons while leaning against a date-palm trunk. When he had a pulpit made, he moved towards it, so the trunk began to weep until the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم held it and embraced it, then it became calm. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said that if I had not embraced it, it would have continued to weep until the Day of Resurrection.
