Abu Hazim Bin Dinar said: People came to Sahl Bin Saad AlSaidi; when they were doubtful about the kind of wood of the pulpit in the Masjid of the Prophet. They asked him about it. He said: By Allah; I know the wood of which it was made; I saw it the first day when it was placed there; and the first day when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat on it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for a woman whom Sahl named and asked her: Order your boy; the carpenter; to construct for me a wooden pulpit so that I sit on it when I deliver a speech to the people. So she ordered him and he made a pulpit of a wood called tarfa taken from AlGhabah a place at a distance of nine miles from Medina. He brought it to her. She sent it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He ordered and that was placed here. I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying on it: he said: Allah is most great; he then bowed while he was on it; then he returned and prostrated in the root of the pulpit; he then returned to the pulpit. When he finished the prayer ; he addressed himself to the people and said: O people; I did this so that you may follow me and know my prayer.
