It was narrated that Amr said: I heard Jabir say: The Messenger of Allah sent us; three hundred riders led by Ubaidah Bin AlJarrah; to lie in wait for the caravan of the Quraish. We stayed on the coast and became very hungry; so much so that we ate Khabat. Then the sea cast ashore a beast called AlAnbar ; and we ate from it for half a month; and daubed our bodies with its fat; and our health was restored. Abu Ubaidah took one it its ribs and looked for the tallest camel man and the tallest man in the army; and he passed beneath it. Then they got hungry again and a man slaughtyered three camels; the they got hungry and a man slaughtered three camels; then they got hungry and a man slaughtered three camels; then they got hungry and a man slaughtered three camels. Then Abu Ubaidah told him not to do that. One of the narrators Sufyan said:Abu AlZubair said; narrating form Jabir: We asked the Prophet and he said: Do you have anything left of it? he said; We took out; such-and -such an amount of a fat from its the whales eyes; and four men could fit into its eye socket. Abu Ubaidah had a sack of dates and he used to give them out by the handful; then he started to give one date at a time; and when we ran our of dates it became very difficult for us.
