وَقَالَ عُمَرُ صَيْدُهُ مَا اصْطِيدَ، وَطَعَامُهُ مَا رَمَى بِهِ، وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الطَّافِي حَلاَلٌ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ طَعَامُهُ مَيْتَتُهُ إِلاَّ مَا قَذِرْتَ مِنْهَا، وَالْجِرِّيُّ لاَ تَأْكُلُهُ الْيَهُودُ وَنَحْنُ نَأْكُلُهُ. وَقَالَ شُرَيْحٌ صَاحِبُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ مَذْبُوحٌ. وَقَالَ عَطَاءٌ أَمَّا الطَّيْرُ فَأَرَى أَنْ يَذْبَحَهُ. وَقَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قُلْتُ لِعَطَاءٍ صَيْدُ الأَنْهَارِ وَقِلاَتِ السَّيْلِ أَصَيْدُ بَحْرٍ هُوَ قَالَ نَعَمْ، ثُمَّ تَلاَ: {هَذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ سَائِغٌ شَرَابُهُ وَهَذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَمِنْ كُلٍّ تَأْكُلُونَ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا}. وَرَكِبَ الْحَسَنُ- عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ- عَلَى سَرْجٍ مِنْ جُلُودِ كِلاَبِ الْمَاءِ. وَقَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ لَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلِي أَكَلُوا الضَّفَادِعَ لأَطْعَمْتُهُمْ. وَلَمْ يَرَ الْحَسَنُ بِالسُّلَحْفَاةِ بَأْسًا. وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كُلْ مِنْ صَيْدِ الْبَحْرِ مَا صَادَهُ نَصْرَانِيٌّ أَوْ يَهُودِيٌّ أَوْ مَجُوسِيٌّ. وَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ فِي الْمُرِي ذَبَحَ الْخَمْرَ النِّينَانُ وَالشَّمْسُ.
Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the game of the sea is that which is hunted by «تدبير» (i.e., by nets, etc.), and its food is that which the water throws out. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the sea animal which dies and floats on the water is lawful (halal). Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that "its food" refers to the carrion of the sea, except that which has decayed. The Jews do not eat bam, shrimp, or fish, but we eat them freely, and the companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Shuraih (may Allah be pleased with him), said that every sea creature is considered slaughtered; it does not need to be slaughtered. Ata said regarding the sea bird that in my opinion, it should be slaughtered. Ibn Jurayj said: I asked Ata bin Abi Rabah, "Is the game of rivers and the game of flood pools also considered sea game (so that its consumption without slaughter is permissible)?" He said, "Yes." Then he recited, as evidence, this verse from Surah An-Nahl «هذا عذب فرات سائغ شرابه وهذا ملح أجاج ومن كل تأكلون لحما طريا»: "This sea is very sweet and this other sea is very salty, and you eat fresh meat (fish) from each of them." And Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) rode on a saddle made from the skin of a sea dog, and Shu'bi said, "If my family eats frogs, I will also feed them," and Hasan al-Basri saw no harm in eating tortoise. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "Eat the game of the sea, whether it was hunted by a Christian, a Jew, or a Magian." And Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Put fish in wine, and if the sunlight falls on it, then it is no longer wine."
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، يَقُولُ : " غَزَوْنَا جَيْشَ الْخَبَطِ ، وَأُمِّرَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ فَجُعْنَا جُوعًا شَدِيدًا فَأَلْقَى الْبَحْرُ حُوتًا مَيِّتًا لَمْ يُرَ مِثْلُهُ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : الْعَنْبَرُ ، فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ نِصْفَ شَهْرٍ ، فَأَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ عَظْمًا مِنْ عِظَامِهِ فَمَرَّ الرَّاكِبُ تَحْتَهُ " .
Narrated Jabir: We went out in a campaign and the army was called The Army of the Khabt, and Abu 'Ubaida was our commander. We were struck with severe hunger. Then the sea threw a huge dead fish called Al- `Anbar, the like of which had never been seen. We ate of it for half a month, and then Abu 'Ubaida took one of its bones (and made an arch of it) so that a rider could easily pass under it.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
(1)
This expedition took place in the 8th year of Hijrah.
"Khabbat" refers to the leaves of a tree which are eaten by camels.
In this battle, due to hunger, the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) had to eat the leaves of trees, which is why this expedition became famously known as "Jaysh al-Khabbat."
At that time, the situation was such that each person would receive only one date per day.
In these circumstances, the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) went towards the sea, where they saw a very large fish, as big as a mountain.
It was so enormous that when its two ribs were set upright, a camel could pass underneath them and still not reach their height.
(2)
Imam al-Bukhari rahimahullah has proven from this hadith that the noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) did not eat the fish out of necessity (idtirar), but rather it was lawful (halal) and permissible (mubah) for them. As is mentioned in one narration, when we reached Madinah Tayyibah, we mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and he said:
"This was provision (rizq) from Allah for you.
If any of it remains, feed us as well."
So they gave a remaining piece to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and he ate from it.
