Aḥmad,''Riḥlat Ibn Jubayr'', p. 149-150.

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."
