وعن جابر رضي الله عنه

قال: كان جذع يقوم إليه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، يعني في الخطبة. فلما وضع المنبر، سمعنا للجذع مثل صوت العشار حتى نزل النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم، فوضع يده عليه فسكن. وفي رواية: فلما كان يوم الجمعة قعد النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم على المنبر، فصاحت النخلة التى كان يخطب عندها حتى كادت أن تنشق.

وفي رواية: فصاحت صياح الصبي، فنزل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، حتى أخذها فضمها إليه، فجعلت تئن أنين الصبي الذي يسكت حتى استقرت، قال: «بكت على ما كانت تسمع من الذكر»

There was a trunk of a date-palm tree upon which the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to recline while delivering Khutbah (sermon). When a pulpit was placed in the mosque, we heard the trunk crying out like a pregnant she-camel. the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) came down from the pulpit and put his hand on the trunk and it became quiet.

Another narration is: The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday (to give the Khutbah). Then an Ansari woman or man said, “O Messenger of Allah! Shall we make a pulpit for you?”

He replied, “If you wish.” So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) sat on the pulpit.

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) took a trunk as a pulpit, and when he replaced it, he heard the sound and crying of that trunk over the Dhikr it used to hear. So, the Prophet descended and put his hand over it, and it calmed as a result. In another narration: "He descended and took it in his arms, and this took place during the Friday sermon."
