´It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdulah saida:` "The Prophet sent us, a group of three hundred, and we carried our provision on our mounts. Our supplies ran our until each man of us had one date per day." It was said to him: "O Abu'Abdullah , what good is one date for a man?" he said: "When we ran out of dates it became very difficult for us. Then we found a whale that had been cast ashore by the sea. And we ate from it for eight days."

Urdu footnote:
Further details of this hadith are coming in the next narration. From this, it is established that fish is lawful (halal), whether it is hunted, or the waves of the sea have thrown it out, or it is floating lifeless on the sea. Because the sea generally throws out dead fish. The living fish return with the water, and such a large fish, which three hundred people continued to eat for eighteen days and it still was not finished, does not come near the shore while alive; rather, it lives in the deep sea. Necessarily, its corpse must have floated to the shore on the water.
