أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ
بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَعَ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ فِي سَرِيَّةٍ فَنَفِدَ زَادُنَا فَمَرَرْنَا بِحُوتٍ قَدْ قَذَفَ بِهِ الْبَحْرُ فَأَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَأْكُلَ مِنْهُ فَنَهَانَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَحْنُ رُسُلُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كُلُوا فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ أَيَّامًا فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَخْبَرْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «إِنْ كَانَ بَقِيَ مَعَكُمْ شَيْءٌ فَابْعَثُوا بِهِ إِلَيْنَا»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us with Abu 'Ubaydah on a military expedition. Our provisions ran out, and we passed by a fish that the sea had thrown out. We wanted to eat from it, but Abu 'Ubaydah forbade us. Then he said, "We are the messengers of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and in the path of Allah, so eat." So we ate from it for several days. When we came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him, he said, "If any of it remains with you, send some to us."
