The minbar of the Prophet ﷺ, fashioned from tamarisk (athal) wood, is among the most celebrated physical relics associated with the Prophetic mosque. Scholars record that after the Prophet’s death it was venerated by the Companions and retained in the mosque for generations; in a parallel narration Sahl describes hearing the minbar creak when the Prophet ﷺ mounted it, the creak “like a young she-camel.”
