Sahih al-Bukhari 3583 (Book 61, Hadith 92) #3424
Comforting a Crying Trunk

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to deliver his sermons while standing beside a trunk of a date palm, but when he had the pulpit made, he used it instead. The trunk started crying and the Prophet (ﷺ) went to it and comforted it.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: The Prophet used to deliver his sermons while standing beside a trunk of a date palm. When he had the pulpit made, he used it instead. The trunk started crying and the Prophet went to it, rubbing his hand over it (to stop its crying).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ كَثِيرٍ أَبُو غَسَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَفْصٍ ـ وَاسْمُهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ أَخُو أَبِي عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَلاَءِ ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ نَافِعًا، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ يَخْطُبُ إِلَى جِذْعٍ فَلَمَّا اتَّخَذَ الْمِنْبَرَ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَيْهِ، فَحَنَّ الْجِذْعُ فَأَتَاهُ فَمَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ‏.‏ وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، بِهَذَا‏.‏ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's compassion for all living things. He was delivering his sermon while standing beside a trunk of a date palm, but when he had the pulpit made, he used it instead. When the trunk started crying out of sadness at being replaced by something else, the Prophet went to it and comforted it by rubbing his hand over it. This teaches us that we should be kind and compassionate towards all living things no matter how small or insignificant they may seem. We should also be mindful of our actions as they can have an effect on others even if we don't realize or intend them to do so.
