وَشَكَا النَّاسُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- الْجُوعَ فَقَالَ « عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يُطْعِمَكُمْ ». فَأَتَيْنَا سِيفَ الْبَحْرِ فَزَخَرَ الْبَحْرُ زَخْرَةً فَأَلْقَى دَابَّةً فَأَوْرَيْنَا عَلَى شِقِّهَا النَّارَ فَاطَّبَخْنَا وَاشْتَوَيْنَا وَأَكَلْنَا حَتَّى شَبِعْنَا. قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَدَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَفُلاَنٌ وَفُلاَنٌ حَتَّى عَدَّ خَمْسَةً فِى حِجَاجِ عَيْنِهَا مَا يَرَانَا أَحَدٌ حَتَّى خَرَجْنَا فَأَخَذْنَا ضِلَعًا مِنْ أَضْلاَعِهِ فَقَوَّسْنَاهُ ثُمَّ دَعَوْنَا بِأَعْظَمِ رَجُلٍ فِى الرَّكْبِ وَأَعْظَمِ جَمَلٍ فِى الرَّكْبِ وَأَعْظَمِ كِفْلٍ فِى الرَّكْبِ فَدَخَلَ تَحْتَهُ مَا يُطَأْطِئُ رَأْسَهُ.
(Jabir said:) 'The people complained to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) of hunger, and he said: "May Allah feed you." We came to the sea shore, and the waves tossed about and threw out a large beast. We lit a fire beside it, and we cooked it and roasted it, and ate our fill.' Jabir said: 'Myself and some others' and he listed five people entered its eye socket and no one could see us until we came out. And we took one of its ribs and made an arch with it, then we called for the biggest man in the camp and the biggest camel in the camp, and he rode beneath it without having to lower his head.'"

"When a person dies, his works end, except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge that is benefited from, and a righteous child who prays for him."
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH)
"The best of what a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who supplicates for him, ongoing charity the reward of which reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him."
Sunan Ibn Mājah
"Every day two angels come down from Heaven and one of them says, 'O Allah! Compensate every person who spends in Your Cause,' and the other (angel) says, 'O Allah! Destroy every miser.'"
