حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْخَيَّاطُ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْعُمَرِيُّ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَسْتَنِدُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ النَّاسُ قَالَ «إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ كَثُرُوا فَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْبَرٌ أَقْعُدُ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ فَذَهَبَ أَبِي فَقَطَعَ عِيدَانَ الْمِنْبَرِ مِنَ الْغَابَةِ فَلَا أَدْرِي عَمِلَهَا أَوِ اسْتَعْمَلَهَا

✧ The Prophet ﷺ used to lean against a palm trunk. When the people became numerous, he said, “The people have become numerous, so if only there were a pulpit on which I could sit.” Abbas said: My father went and cut the wood for the pulpit from the forest. I do not know whether he made it himself or had it made.
