Sahih al-Bukhari 4172 (Book 64, Hadith 388)
struck with severe hunger and the sea threw out a dead fish the like of which we had never seen, and it
was called Al-`Anbar. We ate of it for half a month. Abu Ubaida took (and fixed) one of its bones and
a rider passed underneath it (without touching it). (Jabir added:) Abu ‘Ubaida said (to us), “Eat (of that
fish).” When we arrived at Medina, we informed the Prophet (ﷺ) about that, and he said, “Eat, for it is
food Allah has brought out for you, and feed us if you have some of it.” So some of them gave him (of
that fish) and he ate it.
“ كُلُوا رِزْقًا أَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ، أَطْعِمُونَا إِنْ كَانَ مَعَكُمْ ”. فَأَتَاهُ بَعْضُهُمْ {بِعُضْوٍ} فَأَكَلَهُ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4172 (Book 64, Hadith 388)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
