Book 72: Hunting, Slaughtering · Hadith 19

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرٌو، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ غَزَوْنَا جَيْشَ الْخَبَطِ وَأُمِّرَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ فَجُعْنَا جُوعًا شَدِيدًا فَأَلْقَى الْبَحْرُ حُوتًا مَيِّتًا لَمْ يُرَ مِثْلُهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْعَنْبَرُ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ نِصْفَ شَهْرٍ فَأَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ عَظْمًا مِنْ عِظَامِهِ فَمَرَّ الرَّاكِبُ تَحْتَهُ‏.‏

Narrated Jabir:We went out in a campaign and the army was called The Army of the Khabat, and Abu 'Ubaida was our commander. We were struck with severe hunger. Then the sea threw a huge dead fish called Al- `Anbar, the like of which had never been seen. We ate of it for half a month, and then Abu 'Ubaida took one of its bones (and made an arch of it) so that a rider could easily pass under it

Jabir bataate hain: Hum ek mohim par nikle jise 'Khabat ki Fauj' kaha gaya, aur Abu Ubaida hamare senapati the. Hum shadeed bhookh ka shikaar hue. Phir samundar ne ek bahut badi murda machhli, jise Al-Anbar kaha jaata hai, kinaare phenki, jaisi pehle kabhi nahi dekhi gayi thi. Humne usse aadhe mahine tak khaaya, phir Abu Ubaida ne uski ek haddi li (aur usse ek mehraab banaayi) jiske neeche se ek sawaar aasaani se guzar sakta tha.
