حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ أَوْ جَيْشٍ ، فَنَفِدَ زَادُنَا ، فَبَصُرْنَا بِحُوتٍ قَذَفَهُ الْبَحْرُ فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ ، فَنَهَانَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : نَحْنُ رُسُلُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ، وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كُلُوا ، فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ ، فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : إِنْ كَانَ مَعَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فَابْعَثُوا بِهِ إِلَيْنَا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were in an expedition or an army under the command of Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah bin al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) when our provisions ran out. Meanwhile our eyes fell on a fish that the sea had thrown (onto the shore). We wanted to eat it, but Sayyiduna Abu Ubaydah (may Allah be pleased with him) (at first) stopped us; then he said: "We are the envoys of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and have set out in the path of Allah, so eat it." So we ate from it, and when we returned we mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you have anything (left) of it with you, send some to us as well."
