"عن أيوب بن أَبى يزيد المدنى قال: حدثنى رجلٌ من الصيادين الذين يكونون بِالْجَارِ -وكان من أهل المدينةِ يرزقونَ من الجارِ- فوجد حبًا منثورا فجعل عمر يلتقطٌ حتى جمع منه مدًا أو قريبا من مُدٍّ ثم قال: أَلَا أَرَاكَ تَصْنَعُ مِثْلَ هَذَا وَهَذَا قُوتُ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ حَتَّى اللَّيْلِ؟ قال: فقلت: يا أميرَ المؤمنين لو ركبتَ تنظر كيف نصطادُ؟ فركب معهم، فجعلوا يصطادون، فقال عمر: تَاللَّه إِنْ رَأَيْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ كَسْبًا أَطْيَبَ -أو قَال: أَحَلَّ- قال: ثم صنعنا له طعامًا، فقلت: يا أمير المؤمنين إن شئت سقيناك لبنًا، وإن شئت ماءً، فإن اللبن أيسرُ عندنا من الماء، إنا نستعذب من مكان كذا وكذا، فطعِم ثم دعا بالذى أراد فقلنا يا أمير المؤمنين: إنا نخرج إلى ههنا فنتزود من الماء لِشَفَتِنَا ثم نتوضأُ من ماء البحر، فقال: سُبحَانَ اللَّه! ! وَأَىُّ ماءٍ أَطْهَرُ مِنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ؟ ! ".

“Ayyub ibn Abi Yazid al-Madani said: A man from the fishermen who live at al-Jar, who was from the people of Madinah and were provided for from al-Jar, told me: He found scattered grain, and ‘Umar began gathering it until he had collected a mudd or close to a mudd. Then he said: Do I not see you doing such a thing, when this is the sustenance of a Muslim man until night? I said: O Commander of the Believers, if you rode to see how we fish! So he rode with them, and they began fishing. ‘Umar said: By Allah, I have never seen earnings more pure, or he said more lawful, than today. Then we prepared food for him. I said: O Commander of the Believers, if you wish, we will give you milk to drink, or if you wish, water, for milk is easier for us than water; we draw sweet water from such-and-such a place. So he ate, then asked for what he wanted. We said: O Commander of the Believers, we go out here and take water for our lips, then we perform wudu with sea water. He said: Subhan Allah! And what water is purer than sea water?”
