Mimbar of Masjid Nabawi (Pulpit)
The Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) initially delivered sermons while leaning against a palm tree trunk. The Ansar suggested making a pulpit for him, which he approved. When the new pulpit was made, the old tree wept audibly, and the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) comforted it before it was buried decently.
The Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) stood on the third rung while delivering sermons. After his passing, Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) stood on the second rung, and Umar bin Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) stood on the first. Caliph Uthman (May Allah be pleased with him) later returned to the original position of the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him).
The pulpit has been replaced several times over the centuries, with the current one being installed by Sultan Murad in 998 AH.
