Volume 3, Book 47, Number 743:
Narrated Sahl:
The Prophet sent for a woman from the emigrants and she had a slave who was a carpenter. The
Prophet said to her “Order your slave to prepare the wood (pieces) for the pulpit.” So, she ordered her
slave who went and cut the wood from the tamarisk and prepared the pulpit, for the Prophet. When
he finished the pulpit, the woman informed the Prophet that it had been finished. The Prophet asked
her to send that pulpit to him, so they brought it. The Prophet lifted it and placed it at the place in
which you see now.”
