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."
