عن جابر بن عبد الله رضي الله عنهما قال: كان جِذْعٌ يقوم إليه النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يعني في الخطبة - فلما وُضعَ المنبر سمعنا للجِذْعِ مثل صوت العِشَارِ، حتى نزل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فوضع يده عليه فَسَكَنَ. وفي رواية: فلما كان يوم الجمعة قعد النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم على المنبر، فصاحت النخلة التي كان يخطب عندها حتى كادت أن تَنْشَقُّ، وفي رواية: فصاحت صِيَاحَ الصبي، فنزل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى أخذها فَضَمَّها إليه، فجعلت تَئِنُّ أَنِينَ الصبي الذي يُسَكَّتُ حتى اسْتَقَرَّتْ، قال: «بَكَتْ على ما كانت تسمع من الذِّكْرِ».

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) took a trunk as a pulpit, and when he replaced it, he heard the sound and crying of that trunk over the Dhikr it used to hear. So, the Prophet descended and put his hand over it, and it calmed as a result. In another narration: "He descended and took it in his arms, and this took place during the Friday sermon."
