It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave us a bag full of dates. When those dates ran out, we felt their loss keenly, so (because of the shortage of food) each man began bringing whatever little he could." (About that huge fish) he said: "And we took out such and such a number of jars of fat from the sockets of its eyes." He further said: "Then when we came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked us: 'Do you have anything of it (its meat) with you?'"
