The Hannana pillar (the weeping pillar) was the trunk of a date palm tree that was present in the Prophet's Mosque during the life of the Prophet (s). The Prophet used to lean on it while delivering sermons to the worshippers. "It is narrated that after a pulpit was made for the prophet(s), a sound similar to crying and lamenting came from the trunk of the palm tree. For this reason, it was called the Hananeh Column. According to some reports, people thought the Hananeh Column was one of the columns of the Prophet's Mosque; however, this has been refuted by some historians. It is said that the trunk of that tree was buried in the Prophet's Mosque somewhere next to the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah and the Makhlagha Column. "Historical background" The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) used to lean against the trunk of a date palm tree and speak before a pulpit was made. After the pulpit was made in the sixth or seventh year)1) or the eighth year of Hijra the first time he used the pulpit for a speech and sermon, a moaning sound came from that tree trunk, similar to the moaning of a she-camel separated from its baby or like the sound of a cowwas heard. At this moment, Prophet Muhammad (s) descended from the pulpit and embraced the tree trunk or placed his hand on it until its moaning stopped.

According to the book "Muntaha al-Amal," this incident was one of the miracles of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). According to a narration, the Prophet said that if he had not embraced the tree trunk, it would have continued moaning until the Day of Judgment.(5) Qummī, Muntahā al-āmāl, vol. 1, p. 84.

"name" They named this tree trunk "Hannana." Hannana is derived from the root "Ḥannā," which means a melodious or sorrowful sound.(6) . Ibn Fāris ,Muʿjam maqāyīs al-lughah, vol. 2, p. 24. Additionally, in Arabic hadith and geographical sources, it is known as "al-Jid‘," which means the tree trunk.(7) Al-Samhūdī, Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ, vol. 2, p. 106. "The fate of the tree trunk." Most reports indicate that this tree trunk was buried in the mosque, near the pulpit of the Prophet, at that very time.(8) al-Murāghī, Taḥqīq al-Naṣrah bi-Talakhῑṣ Maʿālim Dār al-Hijrah, p. 237.

Some have said it was buried beneath the pulpit, some have said at the bottom left of the pulpit, and others have said it was buried to the east of the pulpit.(9) al-Murāghī, Taḥqīq al-Naṣrah bi-Talakhῑṣ Maʿālim Dār al-Hijrah, p. 237.
According to one narration, the Prophet spoke to the tree trunk and asked if it wished to be a fruit-bearing tree in Paradise, from which the friends of God would eat its fruits, or if it preferred to be returned to the garden it once belonged to. It chose Paradise and eternal life.(10) Al-Samhūdī, Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ, vol. 2, p. 108.

According to reports, the location where the trunk of Hannana was placed was near the column of creation.(11) Al-Samhūdī, Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ, vol. 2, p. 114. "Common beliefs" Reports from certain historical periods suggest that people believed one of the pillars of the Prophet's Mosque was the same pillar as Hannana. Ibn Jubayr (who traveled to Medina between 578-588 AH) reports that people would touch and kiss a piece of wood protruding from under the column's covering for blessing.(12) Muḥammad b. Aḥmad,Riḥlat Ibn Jubayr, p. 149-150. Ibn Battuta also mentions this report in his travelogue(13) ) Muḥammad b. Aḥmad,Riḥlat Ibn Jubayr, p. 149-150. , Ibn Baṭṭūṭah,Riḥlat Ibn Baṭṭūṭah, vol. 1, p. 153. Matari, an eighth-century Hijri historian, also reported a similar account and emphasized the inaccuracy of this belief(14) Maṭarī, Al-Taʿrīf bimā ʾānasat al-hijra min maʿālim dār al-hijra, p. 93. Maraghi mentions in "Tahqiq al-Nasra" that, by the order of the judge of Medina in 755 AH, this part of the wood was covered.(15) al-Murāghī, Taḥqīq al-Naṣrah bi-Talakhῑṣ Maʿālim Dār al-Hijrah, p. 241. "The virtues of the Hannana column" According to some Shia narrations, praying beside Hannana(16) Nūrī, Mustadrak al-wasāʾil , vol. 3, p. 426. , Muʿizī Malāyirī, Jāmiʿ aḥādīth al-Shīʿa, vol. 4, p. 515. has been recommended. It is said that in these narrations, Hannana likely refers to its location in the Prophet's Mosque(17)* "In mystical literature" The story of the tree trunk weeping in the absence of the Prophet of Islam has been a focal point in the mystical literature of Muslims.(18)* It has been narrated from Hasan al-Basri that when he was narrating the Hadith of the Trunk, he would cry and say, "A piece of wood weeps out of longing for the Messenger of Allah. O servants of God, your longing should be even greater(19) Al-Samhūdī, Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ, vol. 2, p. 108. Jalal ad-Din Mohammad Balkhi, an Iranian mystic and poet (d. 672 AH), has composed about the Hannana column(20)* "The Hannana column laments from the Prophet's departure, like the masters of intellects." The Prophet asked, "What do you desire, O pillar?" It replied, "My soul has turned to blood due to your separation." The Prophet asked, "Do you wish to be turned into a palm tree? Both east and west yield fruits because of you." Or in that realm, would you like God to grant you a cypress? So you remain fresh and verdant forever. It replied, "I desire eternal existence." Listen, O heedless one, don't underestimate even a piece of wood. "They buried that column in the ground, so that on the Day of Judgment, like people, it will rise again."
