مُسْنَدُ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 41
Sufyān ibn ʻUyaynah narrated to us that ʻAmr ibn Dīnār heard Jābir say, “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent us out; we were three hundred horsemen and our leader was Abū ʻUbaydah ibn al-Jarrāḥ. We stayed on the coast until our provisions ran out, so that we had to eat khabaṭ. Then the sea cast ashore a whale, and we lived on it for half a month until we had restored our strength. Abū ʻUbaydah took one of its ribs and set it up [like an arch], then he sought out the tallest camel and it passed beneath it. Before that a man had slaughtered three camels, then three more, then three more, and then Abū ʻUbaydah forbade him to slaughter any more.”

Musnad Aḥmad 41
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، سَمِعَ عَمْرٌو، جَابِرًا يَقُولُ: بَعَثَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي ثَلَاثِ مِائَةِ رَاكِبٍ أَمِيرُنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، فَأَقَمْنَا عَلَى السَّاحِلِ حَتَّى فَنِيَ زَادُنَا، حَتَّى أَكَلْنَا الْخَبَطَ، ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْبَحْرَ أَلْقَى دَابَّةً، يُقَالُ: لَهَا الْعَنْبَرُ، فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهُ نِصْفَ شَهْرٍ، حَتَّى صَلَحَتْ أَجْسَامُنَا، فَأَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ضِلَعًا مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ فَنَصَبَهُ، وَنَظَرَ إِلَى أَطْوَلِ بَعِيرٍ، فَجَازَ تَحْتَهُ، وَكَانَ رَجُلٌ يَجْزُرُ ثَلَاثَةَ جُزُرٍ، ثُمَّ ثَلَاثَةَ جُزُرٍ، ثُمَّ ثَلَاثَةَ جُزُرٍ، فَنَهَاهُ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ
