The Story of the Trunk’s Lament
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Her last question, Shaykh, she says: Regarding the trunk that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used for his sermons, what is its nature and what is its story, Shaykh?
Answer:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not deliver sermons on the trunk; rather, he would lean on it, placing his hand on it while preaching, using it as a support. When the pulpit was built for him, he ascended the pulpit, and the trunk lamented for him. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) descended and placed his hand on it, and it became quiet. Yes. This is among his miracles (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
