So Abu Ubaydah would give us one date each. He said: I asked, "What did you do with it?" He said: We would suck it as a child sucks, then drink water over it, and it would suffice us for the day until night. And we would beat the leaves with our sticks, then moisten them with water and eat them. He said: We set out along the seashore, and there appeared to us on the seashore something like a huge sand hill. We approached it, and it was a creature called al-‘Anbar (a kind of whale). Abu Ubaydah said: "It is dead meat." Then he said: "No, rather we are the messengers of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and in the path of Allah, and you have been compelled by necessity, so eat." He said: So we stayed by it for a month, and we were three hundred men, until we became fat. He said: I saw us scooping fat from the socket of its eye with buckets, and we would cut from it pieces like the size of a bull or as much as a bull. Abu Ubaydah took thirteen men from us, sat them in the socket of its eye, and took one of its ribs, set it upright, then saddled the largest camel we had and it passed underneath it. We took from its meat and dried strips. When we came to al-Madinah, we went to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and mentioned that to him. He said: "It is provision that Allah has brought out for you. Do you have any of its meat with you, so you can feed us?" He said: So we sent some of it to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he ate from it.

He said: Messenger of Allah, I have a small milch goat of less than one year, and that is better than two dry goats (from which only) meat (can be acquired).
