عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بَعَثَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَهُ فِي سَفَرٍ فَنَفَدَ زَادُنَا فَمَرَرْنَا بِحُوتٍ قَذَفَهُ الْبَحْرُ فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ فَمَنَعَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ قَالَ نَحْنُ رُسُلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كُلُوا قَالَ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ أَيَّامًا فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ بَقِيَ مَعَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فَابْعَثُوا بِهِ إِلَيْنَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were with Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us with him on a journey, our provisions ran out, then we found a fish which the river had thrown out, we wanted to eat it, but Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) stopped us from doing so and then said: There is no harm, we are the messengers of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), eat it. So we ate from it for several days, then when we came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we informed him about it, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you have any part of that fish left, send it to us.
