Sitting on the pulpit, the Holy Prophet (ﷺ ) taught religion to his Companions.The lovers of the Prophet (ﷺ ) were extremely fond of this pulpit and preserved it like his other relics to draw blessings from it. Qādī ‘Iyād relates:Ibn ‘Umar was often seen touching with his hand the part of the pulpit where the Prophet (ﷺ ) used to sit and then rubbing his hand all over his body. Qādī ‘Iyād, ash-Shifā (2:620)

 ‘Abdullāh bin Anīs has reported it from his father: When I called on the Prophet (ﷺ ) , he said to me as he saw me: “The successful face (the successful man).” He says: I said to him: O Messenger of Allah, I have killed him (Khālid bin Sufyān). He said: You have spoken out the truth. Then the Messenger (ﷺ ) stood up beside me and went to his house and blessed me with his staff and said: O ‘Abdullāh bin Anīs! Keep it with you. When I came out carrying the staff, the people asked me: what is this (staff)? He replied: this has been given to me by the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ ) and he has commanded me to keep it. The people said: won’t you return it to the Messenger (ﷺ )? Ask the Prophet (ﷺ ) about it. ‘Abdullāh bin Anīs says that I called on the Holy Prophet (ﷺ ) and asked him: O Messenger of Allah! why have you given this staff to me? He replied: on the Day of Judgement this will serve as a mark of recognition between us when few people will cooperate with others. ‘Abdullāh bin Anīs tied the staff to his sword and always kept it with himself until he passed away. He had willed about the staff that it should be placed in his coffin, so we buried them together.  Ahmad bin hambal, Musnad (3:496),Ibn Sa‘d, at-Tabaqāt-ul-kubrā (2:50-1)
Anas bin Mālik has reported: That he had a short stick given to him by the Holy Prophet (ﷺ ). When he died, it (the stick) was buried with him, between his shirt and the side of his body.  Ibn Kathīr in al-Bidāyah wan-nihāyah (4:368)

Qādī ‘Iyād relates in as-Shifā (2:621): Jahjāhā al-Ghifārī snatched the Prophet’s staff from ‘Uthmān’s hand, placed it on his knee and made a sacrilegious effort to break it. But people stalled him in his tracks by protesting, but (he was punished by the unknown for this act), a boil broke out on his knee which turned into a running sore. As a result, his leg was amputated and he died the same year.
