English translation
5493. Narrated Jābir: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: We went out in a campaign and the army was called 'The Army of Al-Khabat', and Abū 'Ubaidā 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 Abū 'Ubaidā took one of its bones (and made an arch of it) so that a rider could easily pass under it. (1) (Chap. 12) Al-Murī is a drink made from wine mixed with salt and fish and is exposed to the sun till the wine loses its taste.
