Hadith text
Narrated Wahb bin Kaisan:Jabir bin `Abdullah said, "We set out, and we were three-hundred men carrying our journey-food on our shoulders. Then we began to eat a single date each per day." A man asked (Jabir), "O Abu `Abdullah! How could a person be satisfied with a single date?" Jabir replied, "We realized the value of that one date when we could not even have that much till we reached the sea-shore, when all of a sudden we saw a huge fish cast by the sea. So, we ate of it as much as we wished for eighteen days
Wahb bin Kaisan bataate hain: Jabir bin Abdullah ne kaha, "Hum nikle, aur hum teen sau log the apne kandhon par apna safar ka khaana lekar. Phir humne har din ek-ek khajoor khana shuru kiya." Ek shaks ne (Jabir se) pucha, "Aye Abu Abdullah! Ek khajoor se koi kaise santusht ho sakta hai?" Jabir ne jawab diya, "Humein us ek khajoor ki qadr tab pata chali jab humare paas woh bhi nahi bacha jab tak hum samundar ke kinare pahunche, jab achanak humne ek badi machhli dekhi jise samundar ne fenka tha. Isliye humne usme se athaarah din tak jitna chaha khaya."
