Chapter: Regarding eating the fish that die in the sea and float.

باب فِي أَكْلِ الطَّافِي مِنَ السَّمَكِ

English narration

Narrated by جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ said: What the sea throws up and is left by the tide you may eat, but what dies in the sea and floats you must not eat. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Sufyan al-Thawri, Ayyub and Hammad from Abu al-Zubair as the statement of Jabor himself (and not from the Prophet). It has been also transmitted direct from the Prophet ﷺ through a weak chain by Abu Dhi'b, from Abu al-Zubair on the authority if Jabir from the Prophet ﷺ.

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ الطَّائِفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

مَا أَلْقَى الْبَحْرُ أَوْ جَزَرَ عَنْهُ فَكُلُوهُ ، وَمَا مَاتَ فِيهِ وَطَفَا فَلَا تَأْكُلُوهُ

" ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : رَوَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ ، وَأَيُّوبُ ، وَحَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ أَوْقَفُوهُ عَلَى جَابِرٍ ، وَقَدْ أُسْنِدَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ أَيْضًا مِنْ وَجْهٍ ضَعِيفٍ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
