حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ أَخْبَرَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ ابْنِ مِقْسَمٍ قَالَ أَبِي يَعْنِي عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مِقْسَمٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي الْبَحْرِ هُوَ الطَّهُورُ مَاؤُهُ الْحِلُّ مَيْتَتُهُ.

Abu al-Qasim ibn Abi al-Zinad told us, Ishaq ibn Hazim informed me, from Ibn Miqsam — he said, my father, that is 'Ubaydullah ibn Miqsam — from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said concerning the sea: "It is its water that is purifying, and its dead creatures are lawful to eat."
