(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : غَزَوْنَا جَيْشَ الْخَبَطِ ، وَأَمِيرُنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ، فَجُعْنَا جُوعًا شَدِيدًا ، فَأَلْقَى لَنَا الْبَحْرُ حُوتًا لَمْ نَرَ مِثْلَهُ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : الْعَنْبَرُ ، فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ نِصْفَ شَهْرٍ ، وَأَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ عَظْمًا مِنْ عِظَامِهِ ، فَكَانَ الرَّاكِبُ يَمُرُّ تَحْتَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that we participated in jihad with the army of Khabt, whose commander was Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah. On the way, the severity of hunger troubled us greatly. Meanwhile, the sea threw out for us such a large fish that we had never seen a fish so big before; it was called ambergris (amber). We kept eating from it for half a month. Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah took one of its bones and fixed it in the ground, and even a rider could easily pass underneath it.
