أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الْمُهَيْمِنِ هُوَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ جَدِّي - ؓ قَالَ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُبْنَى الْمَسْجِدُ يُصَلِّي إِلَى خَشَبَةٍ، فَلَمَّا بُنِيَ الْمَسْجِدُ بُنِيَ لَهُ مِحْرَابٌ، فَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ، فَحَنَّتْ تِلْكَ الْخَشَبَةُ حَنِينَ الْبَعِيرِ، فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا، فَسَكَنَتْ

✧ Before the mosque was built, the Messenger of God ﷺ used to pray towards a wooden post. When the mosque was built, a prayer niche was built for him, and he moved to it. That wooden post yearned like a camel, so the Messenger of God ﷺ placed his hand on it, and it became still.
