حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا وَنَحْنُ ثَلاَثُمِائَةٍ نَحْمِلُ زَادَنَا عَلَى رِقَابِنَا، فَفَنِيَ زَادُنَا، حَتَّى كَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا يَأْكُلُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ تَمْرَةً. قَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، وَأَيْنَ كَانَتِ التَّمْرَةُ تَقَعُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ قَالَ لَقَدْ وَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهَا حِينَ فَقَدْنَاهَا، حَتَّى أَتَيْنَا الْبَحْرَ فَإِذَا حُوتٌ قَدْ قَذَفَهُ الْبَحْرُ، فَأَكَلْنَا مِنْهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا مَا أَحْبَبْنَا.

Narrator: Wahb bin Kaisan

English translation
Narrated Wahb bin Kaisan: Jabir bin `Abdullah said, "We set out, and we were three-hundred men carrying our journey-food on our shoulders. Then we began to eat a single date each per day." A man asked (Jabir), "O Abu `Abdullah! How could a person be satisfied with a single date?" Jabir replied, "We realized the value of that one date when we could not even have that much till we reached the sea-shore, when all of a sudden we saw a huge fish cast by the sea. So, we ate of it as much as we wished for eighteen days
বাংলা অনুবাদ
জাবির ইবনু ‘আবদুল্লাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, আমরা এক জিহাদে বের হলাম এবং আমরা সংখ্যায় তিনশ’ ছিলাম। প্রত্যেকে নিজ নিজ পাথেয় নিজেদের কাঁধে বহন করছিলাম। পথে আমাদের পাথেয় নিঃশেষ হয়ে গেল। এমনকি আমরা দৈনিক একটি মাত্র খেজুর খেতে থাকলাম। এক ব্যক্তি জিজ্ঞেস করল, হে আবূ ‘আবদুল্লাহ্! একটি মাত্র খেজুর একজন লোকের কী করে যথেষ্ট হত? তিনি বললেন, যখন আমরা তাও হারালাম তখন এর হারানোটা টের পেলাম। অবশেষে আমরা সমুদ্র তীরে এসে উপস্থিত হলাম। হঠাৎ সমুদ্র একটা বিরাট মাছ কূলে নিক্ষেপ করল। আমরা সে মাছটি মজা করে আঠার দিন পর্যন্ত খেলাম। (২৪৮৩) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৭৬২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
