سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ لَمَّا كَانَ سَنَةُ إِحْدَى وَ أَرْبَعِينَ أَرَادَ مُعَاوِيَةُ الْحَجَّ فَأَرْسَلَ نَجَّاراً وَ أَرْسَلَ بِالْآلَةِ وَ كَتَبَ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنْ يَقْلَعَ مِنْبَرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ يَجْعَلُوهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ مِنْبَرِهِ بِالشَّامِ فَلَمَّا نَهَضُوا لِيَقْلَعُوهُ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَكَفُّوا وَ كَتَبُوا بِذَلِكَ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ يَعْزِمُ عَلَيْهِمْ لَمَّا فَعَلُوهُ فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَمِنْبَرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْمَدْخَلُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘When it was the year forty one, Muawiya intended the Hajj. So he sent carpenters and sent the tools, and wrote to the governor of Al-Medina that he should get rid of the Pulpit of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> and make it to be upon a measurement of his own pulpit which was in Syria. So, when they got ready to get rid of it, the sun eclipsed and the ground shook. So, they refrained and wrote about that to Muawiya. So he wrote back to them, stressing upon them to what they should be doing. So they did that, and the Pulpit of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> is (today) the entrance which one can see’.
