Ruling if the Sea Throws a Fish Ashore

Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us with Hazrat Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) in an army. During this journey, our provisions ran out. Meanwhile, we saw a (very large) fish which the sea had thrown out. When we intended to eat it, at first Hazrat Abu Ubaidah forbade us, then he said that we are sent by 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 this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, if you have any part of that fish left, give it to me as well.
