ney food and it was collected. My (our) journey food was dates. Abu ‘Ubaida kept on giving us our
daily ration in small amounts from it, till it was exhausted. The share of everyone of us used to be
one date only.” I said, “How could one date benefit you?” Jabir replied, “We came to know its value
when even that too finished.” Jabir added, “When we reached the sea-shore, we saw a huge fish
which was like a small mountain. The army ate from it for eighteen days. Then Abu ‘Ubaida ordered

camels?” Allah’s Apostle ordered ‘Umar, “Call upon the people to bring what has remained of their
food.” A leather sheet was spread and al I the journey food was collected and heaped over it. Allah’s
