It is narrated from Sabah bin Ashras that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about the ebb and flow (tides).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every night the sea looks towards the land three times and seeks permission from Allah to overflow upon the people of the earth, but Allah restrains it.

عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْبَحْرُ هُوَ جَهَنَّمُ قَالُوا لِيَعْلَى فَقَالَ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ {نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا} [سورة الكهف: 29] قَالَ لَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ يَعْلَى بِيَدِهِ لَا أَدْخُلُهَا أَبَدًا حَتَّى أُعْرَضَ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلَا يُصِيبُنِي مِنْهَا قَطْرَةٌ حَتَّى أَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
It is narrated from Sayyidina Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The sea is Hell itself. People said to Sayyidina Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him): Do you not see that Allah Almighty has said: For the wrongdoers, We have prepared a fire whose canopies will enclose them. (: Surah Al-Kahf: 29) He said: No, by the One in whose hand is Ya'la's soul! I will never enter it until I am presented before Allah Almighty, and not a single drop of it can reach me until I meet Allah Almighty.
Hadith 10231
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّا نَرْكَبُ الْبَحْرَ وَنَحْمِلُ مَعَنَا الْقَلِيلَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأْنَا بِهِ عَطِشْنَا أَفَنَتَوَضَّأُ مِنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ هُوَ الطَّهُورُ مَاؤُهُ الْحِلُّ مَيْتَتُهُ
Syedna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates that a man asked the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: Indeed, we travel by sea and carry only a little water with us. If we use it for ablution, we become thirsty. So can we perform ablution with sea water? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, replied: The water of the sea is purifying and its dead (animals) are lawful.
