{{Quote|{{Bukhari|4|56|784}}|Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah: The Prophet used to stand by a tree or a date-palm on Friday. Then an Ansari woman or man said. "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we make a pulpit for you?" He replied, "If you wish." So they made a pulpit for him and when it was Friday, he proceeded towards the pulpit (for delivering the sermon). '''The date-palm cried like a child!''' The Prophet descended (the pulpit) and embraced it while it continued moaning like a child  being quieted. The Prophet said, "It was crying for (missing) what it used to hear of religious knowledge given near to it."}}

{{Quote|{{Bukhari|4|56|779}}|Narrated 'Abdullah: We used to consider miracles as Allah's Blessings, but you people consider them to be a warning. Once we were with Allah's Apostle on a journey, and we ran short of water. He said, "Bring the water remaining with you." The people brought a utensil containing a little water. He placed his hand in it and said, "Come to the blessed water, and the Blessing is from Allah." I saw the water flowing from among the fingers of Allah's Apostle , and no doubt, '''we heard the meal glorifying Allah''', when it was being eaten (by him).}}
