أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ نَحْمِلُ زَادَنَا عَلَى رِقَابِنَا فَفَنِيَ زَادُنَا حَتَّى كَانَ يَكُونُ لِلرَّجُلِ مِنَّا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَمْرَةٌ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْنَ تَقَعُ التَّمْرَةُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ؟ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ وَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهَا حِينَ فَقَدْنَاهَا فَأَتَيْنَا الْبَحْرَ فَإِذَا بِحُوتٍ قَدْ قَذَفَهُ الْبَحْرُ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us out, and we were three hundred, carrying our provisions on our necks. Our provisions ran out until each man among us had only one date per day. It was said to him, "O Abu 'Abd Allah, what is one date to a man?" He said, "We felt its loss when we lost it." Then we came to the sea, and there was a huge fish that the sea had thrown out. We ate from it for eighteen days.
