It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us on a journey with Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him). On the way, our provisions ran out. During this time, we came across a very large fish which the sea had thrown out. We wanted to eat it, but at first Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) forbade us. Then he said that we are messengers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and have set out in the way of Allah, so eat it. Thus, we ate it for several days, and after returning, we mentioned it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If any part of it is left with you, send it to us as well."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Suraqah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! For what purpose is action? Have the pens written it and dried, and has the decree been enforced, or do we make our own destiny?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The pens have written it and dried, and the decree has been enforced." He asked, "Then what is the benefit of action?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep doing deeds, for everyone will find it easy to do that for which he was created."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a person asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the ritual bath (ghusl) after major impurity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "I pour water over my head three times."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever goes to visit a sick person, he keeps entering into the mercy of Allah until he sits by him, and when he sits, he immerses himself in it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have been given five things which were not given to anyone before me: I have been sent to every red and black (i.e., to all mankind), whereas the previous prophets were sent to a specific nation; I have been sent to all people in general. Booty (spoils of war) has been made lawful for me, whereas it was not lawful for anyone before me. I have been helped by awe (instilled in the hearts of the enemy) from a distance of one month's journey. The entire earth has been made pure and a mosque for me, so wherever a person finds the time for prayer, he should pray there.
