حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّهُ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْثًا قِبَلَ السَّاحِلِ وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ وَهُمْ ثَلاَثُمِائَةٍ، فَخَرَجْنَا وَكُنَّا بِبَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ فَنِيَ الزَّادُ فَأَمَرَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بِأَزْوَادِ الْجَيْشِ، فَجُمِعَ فَكَانَ مِزْوَدَىْ تَمْرٍ، فَكَانَ يَقُوتُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ قَلِيلٌ قَلِيلٌ حَتَّى فَنِيَ، فَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُصِيبُنَا إِلاَّ تَمْرَةٌ تَمْرَةٌ فَقُلْتُ مَا تُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ تَمْرَةٌ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ وَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهَا حِينَ فَنِيَتْ‏.‏ ثُمَّ انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْبَحْرِ، فَإِذَا حُوتٌ مِثْلُ الظَّرِبِ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا الْقَوْمُ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بِضِلَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَضْلاَعِهِ فَنُصِبَا، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَاحِلَةٍ فَرُحِلَتْ ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ تَحْتَهُمَا فَلَمْ تُصِبْهُمَا‏.‏

Narrated Wahab bin Kaisan:Jabir bin `Abdullah said, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent troops to the sea coast and appointed Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as their commander, and they were 300 (men). We set out, and we had covered some distance on the way, when our journey food ran short. So Abu 'Ubaida ordered that all the food present with the troops be collected, and it was collected. Our journey food was dates, and Abu Ubaida kept on giving us our daily ration from it little by little (piecemeal) till it decreased to such an extent that we did not receive except a date each." I asked (Jabir), "How could one date benefit you?" He said, "We came to know its value when even that finished." Jabir added, "Then we reached the sea (coast) where we found a fish like a small mountain. The people (i.e. troops) ate of it for 18 nights (i.e. days). Then Abu 'Ubaida ordered that two of its ribs be fixed on the ground (in the form of an arch) and that a she-camel be ridden and passed under them. So it passed under them without touching them

Wahab bin Kaisan bataate hain: Jabir bin Abdullah ne kaha, "Allah ke Rasool ne samundar ke kinare ki taraf sainikon ko bheja aur Abu Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah ko unka kamandar muqarrar kiya, aur woh teen sau (300) the. Hum nikle, aur humne raste par kuch doori tay ki jab humari yaatra ka khaana kam pad gaya. Isliye Abu Ubaida ne hukum diya ke sainikon ke paas jo bhi khaana hai woh jama kiya jaaye, aur use jama kiya gaya. Humara yaatra ka khaana khajoor tha, aur Abu Ubaida usmein se humari rozana raashan thoda-thoda karke (tukdon mein) dete rahe jab tak yeh itna kam ho gaya ke humein ek-ek khajoor hi mili." Maine (Jabir se) pucha, "Ek khajoor tumhe kaise faayda deti thi?" Unhone kaha, "Humein iski qeemat pata chali jab woh bhi khatm ho gaee." Jabir ne joda, "Phir hum samundar (ke kinare) tak pahunche jahaan humein ek pahad jaisi machhli mili. Log (yaani sainik) use atharah raaton (yaani dinon) tak khate rahe. Phir Abu Ubaida ne hukum diya ke uski do paansuliyon ko zameen mein (ek mihrab jaisa) gaada jaaye aur ek untni par sawar hokar unke neeche se guzaraee jaaye. Isliye woh unke neeche se bina chhuye guzari."
