[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ provided us with a bag of dates. He would take a handful and give it to us, then take another date and give it to us. We would suck on the dates and drink water over them until nightfall. Then, we would finish what was in the bag and suffer from extreme hunger. Suddenly, the sea threw a dead whale at us. Abu 'Ubaidah said, "It is for the warriors and the hungry, so eat." So we ate. Abu 'Ubaidah would prop up one of his ribs from his side, and the rider would pass under it while his five companions would sit in the same spot. We ate from it and rubbed it on ourselves until our bodies were restored and our skins became healthy. When we arrived in Madinah, Jabir mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, "This provision was brought forth by Allah for you. If you still have some, feed it to us." He said, "We still had some left, so he sent some of it to him."  

وَزَوَّدَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جِرَابًا مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَكَانَ يَقْبِضُ لَنَا قَبْضَةً قَبْضَةً ثُمَّ تَمْرَةً تَمْرَةً فَنَمُصُّهَا وَنَشْرَبُ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ حَتَّى اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ نَفِدَ مَا فِي الْجِرَابِ فَكُنَّا نَجْتَنِي الْخَبَطَ بِقِسِيِّنَا فَجُعْنَا جُوعًا شَدِيدًا فَأَلْقَى لَنَا الْبَحْرُ حُوتًا مَيِّتًا فَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ غُزَاةٌ وَجِيَاعٌ فَكُلُوا فَأَكَلْنَا فَكَانَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ يَنْصِبُ الضِّلَعَ مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ فَيَمُرُّ الرَّاكِبُ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ تَحْتَهُ وَيَجْلِسُ النَّفَرُ الْخَمْسَةُ فِي مَوْضِعِ عَيْنِهِ فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ وَادَّهَنَّا حَتَّى صَلَحَتْ أَجْسَامُنَا وَحَسُنَتْ سَحْنَاتُنَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَذَكَرْنَاهُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رِزْقٌ أَخْرَجَهُ اللهُ لَكُمْ فَإِنْ كَانَ مَعَكُمْ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فَأَطْعِمُونَاهُ قَالَ فَكَانَ مَعَنَا مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فَأَرْسَلَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ
