An incident in Islam

♥ Beautiful Incident from our Precious History ♥
Imam Malik bin Anas recorded that Jabir bin `Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) said,“Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم ) sent an army towards the east coast and appointed Abu `Ubaydah bin Al-Jarrah (رضي الله عنه) as their commander, and the army consisted of threehundred men, including myself. We marched on until we reached a place where our food was about to finish. Abu `Ubaydah (رضيالله عنه) ordered us to collect all the food for our journey, and it was collected in two bags of dates. Abu `Ubaydah kept on giving us our daily ration in small amounts from it, until it was exhausted. The share of each of us used to be one date only.”
I (one of the narrators fromJabir) said, “How could one date suffice for you” Jabir replied, “We came to knowits value when even that finished.”
Jabir added, “When we reached the seashore, we saw a huge fish which was like a small mountain. The army ate from it for eighteen days.
Then Abu `Ubaydah ordered that two of its ribs be affixed in the ground. Then he ordered that a she-camel be ridden, and itpassed under the two ribs (forming an arch) without touching them.”
(This Hadith was also collected in the Two Sahihs)
