We went out in a campaign and the army was called The Army of the Khabt, and Abu ‘Ubaida was
our commander. We were struck with severe hunger. Then the sea threw a huge dead fish called
Al-‘Anbar, the like of which had never been seen. We ate of it for half a month, and then Abu
‘Ubaida took one of its bones (and made an arch of it) so that a rider could easily pass under it.

Narrated Adi bin Hatim:
I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We let loose our trained hounds after a game?” He said, “Eat what they
hunt for you.” I said, “Even if they killed (the game)?” He replied, ‘Even if they killed (the game).” I
said, ‘We also hit (the game) with the Mi’rad?” He said, “Eat of the animal which the Mi’rad kills by
piercing its body, but do not eat of the animal which is killed by the broad side of the Mi’rad.”

huge fish called Al-‘Anbar and we ate of it for half a month and rubbed our bodies with its fat till
our bodies became healthy. Then Abu Ubaida took one of its ribs and fixed it over the ground and a

Narrated Abu Tha’laba Al-Khushani:
I said, “O Allah’s Prophet! We are living in a land ruled by the people of the Scripture; Can we take
our meals in their utensils? In that land there is plenty of game and I hunt the game with my bow
and with my hound that is not trained and with my trained hound. Then what is lawful for me to
eat?” He said, “As for what you have mentioned about the people of the Scripture, if you can get
utensils other than theirs, do not eat out of theirs, but if you cannot get other than theirs, wash their
utensils and eat out of it. If you hunt an animal with your bow after mentioning Allah’s Name, eat of
it. and if you hunt something with your trained hound after mentioning Allah’s Name, eat of it, and if
you hunt something with your untrained hound (and get it before it dies) and slaughter it, eat of it.”
