حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا بَدَّنَ قَالَ لَهُ تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ أَلَا أَتَّخِذُ لَکَ مِنْبَرًا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَجْمَعُ أَوْ يَحْمِلُ عِظَامَکَ قَالَ بَلَی فَاتَّخَذَ لَهُ مِنْبَرًا مِرْقَاتَيْنِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1081
Ibn Umar said: When the Prophet ﷺ became fat, Tamim al-Dari said to him: Should I make for you pulpit, Messenger of Allah, that will bear the burden of your body ? He said: Yes. So he made a pulpit consisting of two steps.
