حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِکُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ مِنْ آلِ ابْنِ الْأَزْرَقِ أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْبَحْرُ الطَّهُورُ مَاؤُهُ الْحِلُّ مَيْتَتُهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد اللَّهِ بَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْجَوَادِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ هَذَا نِصْفُ الْعِلْمِ لِأَنَّ الدُّنْيَا بَرٌّ وَبَحْرٌ فَقَدْ أَفْتَاکَ فِي الْبَحْرِ وَبَقِيَ الْبَرُّ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3246
Mughirah bin Abu Burdah who was of the tribe of Banu 'Abd-Dar, narrated that he heard Abu Hurairah say: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'The water of the sea is a means of purification and its dead meat is permissible.'" Abu 'Abdullah (Ibn Majah) said. "I heard that Abu 'Ubaidah AI- Iawad said: 'This is half of knowledge, because the world is land and sea. I have told you about the sea so there remains the land.’”
