حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ الطَّائِفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا أَلْقَى الْبَحْرُ أَوْ جَزَرَ عَنْهُ فَكُلُوهُ ، وَمَا مَاتَ فِيهِ وَطَفَا فَلَا تَأْكُلُوهُ " ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ ، وَأَيُّوبُ ، وَحَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ أَوْقَفُوهُ عَلَى جَابِرٍ ، وَقَدْ أُسْنِدَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ أَيْضًا مِنْ وَجْهٍ ضَعِيفٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ said: What the sea throws up and is left by the tide you may eat, but what dies in the sea and floats you must not eat. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Sufyan al-Thawri, Ayyub and Hammad from Abu al-Zubair as the statement of Jabor himself (and not from the Prophet). It has been also transmitted direct from the Prophet ﷺ through a weak chain by Abu Dhi'b, from Abu al-Zubair on the authority if Jabir from the Prophet ﷺ.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: This narration is weak in its chain of transmission.
However, a fish that dies of itself is lawful (halal).
As is mentioned in the well-known incident of the “Army of Al-Khabt” in Sahih al-Bukhari and Muslim.
That under the leadership of Abu Ubaydah radi Allahu anhu, this army initially faced extreme hardship.
They had to endure severe hunger.
But later, they found a very large fish on the seashore.
They continued to eat it for two weeks.
And some people even saved a portion of it and brought it to Madinah.
Which, at the request of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, was also presented to him.
And he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ate from it.
(Sahih al-Bukhari, al-Maghazi, Hadith: 4360 and those after it) Further details will come ahead in Hadith 3840.
