أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي نُعَيْمٍ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ «بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَعْثًا قِبَلَ السَّاحِلِ وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْنَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ وَهُمْ ثَلَاثُ مِائَةٍ وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ قَالَ فَخَرَجْنَا حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ فَنِيَ الزَّادُ فَأَمَرَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بِأَزْوَادِ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ فَجُمِعَ كُلُّهُ فَكَانَ مِزْوَدَ تَمْرٍ فَكَانَ يُقَوِّتُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قَلِيلًا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى فَنِيَ وَلَمْ يُصِبْنَا إِلَّا تَمْرَةً تَمْرَةً فَقُلْتُ وَمَا تُغْنِي تَمْرَةٌ قَالَ لَقَدْ وَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهَا حَيْثُ فَنِيَتْ قَالَ ثُمَّ انْتَهَى إِلَى الْبَحْرِ فَإِذَا حُوتٌ مِثْلُ الظَّرِبِ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشُ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ أَمَرَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بِضِلْعَيْنِ مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَاحِلَةٍ فَرُحِّلَتْ ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ تَحْتَهُمَا وَلَمْ تُصِبْهُمَا»

✧ He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dispatched an expedition towards the coast and appointed Abu 'Ubaydah b. al-Jarrah as our commander. They were three hundred, and I was among them. We set out until we were partway, and the provisions ran out. Abu 'Ubaydah ordered that the provisions of that army be collected all together, and it was a sack of dates. He rationed us little by little each day until it was exhausted, and none of us got more than one date at a time. I said, 'What does a single date avail?' He said, 'We felt its loss when it ran out.' Then we reached the sea, and there was a fish like a small hill. That army ate from it for eleven nights. Then Abu 'Ubaydah ordered that two of its ribs be taken, then ordered a mount to be saddled, and it passed under them without touching them.
