Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا خَطَبَ يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَى جِذْعِ نَخْلَةٍ مِنْ سَوَارِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمَّا صُنِعَ لَهُ الْمِنْبَرُ فَاسْتَوَى عَلَيْهِ اضْطَرَبَتْ السَّارِيَةُ كَحَنِينِ النَّاقَةِ حَتَّى سَمِعَهَا أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَالْتَزَمَهَا فَسَكَنَتْ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ وَرَوْحٌ اضْطَرَبَتْ تِلْكَ السَّارِيَةُ وَقَالَ رَوْحٌ فَاعْتَنَقَهَا فَسَكَنَتْ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ فَسَكَتَتْ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Bakr told us, Ibn Jurayj informed us, Abu al-Zubayr informed me that he heard Jabir ibn Abdullah say: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when he gave a sermon, used to lean against a palm trunk among the pillars of the mosque. When the pulpit was made for him and he stood upon it, the trunk trembled like the moaning of a she-camel, until the people of the mosque heard it. So the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, came down to it and embraced it, and it became still. Abd al-Razzaq and Rawh said: "that pillar trembled." Rawh said: "he embraced it and it became still." Abd al-Razzaq said: "it fell silent."
