Yahya related to me from Malik that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn AbiTalha heard Anas ibn Malik say that Abu Talha had said to Umm Sulaym,"I have just been listening to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah blesshim and grant him peace, and his voice was very weak. I recognisedhunger in it, so, do you have anything?" She replied, "Yes," andbrought out some barley loaves. She took her long head scarf andwrapped up the bread with part of it and put it into my (Anas's) handand gave me part of it to wear. Then she sent me to the Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace." Anascontinued, "I took it, and I found the Messenger of Allah, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, sitting in the mosque with some people.I watched them. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and granthim peace, said, 'Did Abu Talha send you?' I replied, 'Yes.' He said,'For food?' I said, 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, said to those with him, 'Let us go.' He set offand I went among them until I came to Abu Talha and told him. AbuTalha said, 'Umm Sulaym! The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless himand grant him peace, has brought people and we have no food. Whatshall we give them to eat?' She said, 'Allah and His Messenger knowbest.' " Anas continued, "Abu Talha went out and met theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,approached with Abu Talha until they entered.

Abu Ubayda ibn al-Jarrah was in command of them. There were 300 people and I was amongthem. We went out until we had gone part of the way and our provisionswere finished. Abu Ubayda ordered that the provisions of the army begathered up and they amounted to two containers of dates. He used togive us a little provision from it each day until it was finished, andwe used to have only a single date each. I said, 'What use is onedate?' He said, 'We will certainly feel its loss when they arefinished.' " Jabir continued, "Then we reached the sea andthere was a fish like a small mountain. The army ate from it foreighteen nights. Then Abu Ubayda ordered two ribs from it to be setup. Then he commanded that a camel be ridden underneath them and itdid not touch them." Translation Not Available
