It is narrated about Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was traveling by sea with some companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). They found a dead fish floating on the water. The people asked him about it, so he inquired: Is it pure? Has there been any change in it (i.e., has it started to smell)? The people replied: Yes! (It is pure). So Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Eat it, and save my share from it as well (i.e., keep it for me). The reason for this was that at that time he was fasting.

Jabalah bin Atiyyah reports that some companions of Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) found a fish floating on the water (after its death). They asked Sayyiduna Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) about it, so he said: Give it to me as a gift as well.

Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Slaughtering the mother of an animal that has a fetus in its womb will be considered as slaughtering the fetus as well, whether its hair has appeared or not."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates regarding the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): It was asked of him about a she-camel or a cow that has a fetus in its womb.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that we asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we said: A person slaughters a she-camel, or a cow, or a goat, and finds a fetus in its womb, so should he eat it or throw it away? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish, eat it, for the slaughtering of its mother is considered its slaughtering."

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Slaughtering the mother of an animal that has a fetus in its womb will be considered as slaughtering it (the fetus) as well."
