(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً ثَلَاثَ مِائَةٍ وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ ، فَنَفِدَ زَادُنَا ، فَجَمَعَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ زَادَهُمْ ، فَجَعَلَهُ فِي مِزْوَدٍ ، فَكَانَ يُقِيتُنَا حَتَّى كَانَ يُصِيبُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَمْرَةٌ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَمَا كَانَتْ تُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ تَمْرَةٌ ؟ قَالَ : قَدْ وَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهَا حِينَ ذَهَبَتْ ، حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى السَّاحِلِ ، فَإِذَا حُوتٌ مِثْلُ الظَّرِبِ الْعَظِيمِ ، قَالَ : فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشُ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ضِلَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ فَنَصَبَهُمَا ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَاحِلَِة فَرُحِلَتْ ، فَمَرَّتْ تَحْتَهُمَا فَلَمْ يُصِبْهَا شَيْءٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a detachment consisting of three hundred men and appointed Sayyiduna Abu Ubaid bin Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) as their commander. On the way, our provisions ran out. Sayyiduna Abu Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered all the people's food in one container and kept giving us from it to eat. We would get only one date per day. A man asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): O Abu Abdullah! What could you do with one date? He replied: We only realized this when even that one date stopped coming. During this time, we came across a very large fish, like a big mound, which the sea had thrown out. The army ate from it for eighteen days. Then Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) took two of the fish's ribs and set them up, then passed a mount underneath them, and even then it did not touch the rib.
