The Weeping Tree Abdullah ibn Umar r.a. reports that the Prophet ﷺ used to deliver sermons while standing beside the trunk of a date palm tree.
Upon the request of an Ansari woman, the Prophet ﷺ permitted that a small pulpit of three steps be constructed for him, so that he may be more visible and project his voice further into the growing audience.
When the Prophet ﷺ ascended the new pulpit on the following Friday, loud sounds of weeping emerged. It was from the tree trunk.
The Prophet ﷺ descended and went over to the tree and began rubbing his hand over it, just as someone does to quiet a child. Anas bin Malik added, the mosque shook from its whimpers.
Sahal bin Sa'ad said, many people started weeping from hearing its crying and moaning. Ibn Abbas r.a. added, he ﷺ went and hugged it until it quieted.
Jabir r.a. said, it was weeping over the revelation that it would hear recited close by.
