Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 20933 — What the sea throws up and what
٢٠٩٣٣ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: نا هشيم عن أبي الزبير عن جابر قال: (بعثنا) (١) النبي ﷺ (٢) مع أبي عبيدة في سرية (فنفد) (٣) زادنا، (فمررنا) (٤) بحوت قد قذفه البحر، فأردنا أن نأ كل منه، فنهانا أبو عبيدة ثم قال: نحن رسل رسول اللَّه ﷺ وفي سبيل اللَّه ﵎ (٥) كلوا فأكلنا، قال: فلما قدمنا (على) (٦) رسول اللَّه ﷺ ذكرنا ذلك فقال: "إن كان بقي معكم منه شيء فابعثوا به إلي" (٧).
Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us with Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) in a military detachment. On that journey our provisions ran out. Meanwhile we saw a (very large) fish that the sea had thrown out. We wanted to eat it, and at first Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah forbade us; then he said: We are envoys of the Messenger of Allah and we are in the path of Allah. Eat this fish. So we ate it. Then when we returned, we mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "If any part of that fish is still with you, give me some too."
