حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، حَدَّثَنِي صَفْوَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، مِنْ آلِ ابْنِ الأَزْرَقِ أَنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، - وَهُوَ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ الدَّارِ - حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ، سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " الْبَحْرُ الطَّهُورُ مَاؤُهُ الْحِلُّ مَيْتَتُهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بَلَغَنِي عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْجَوَادِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ هَذَا نِصْفُ الْعِلْمِ لأَنَّ الدُّنْيَا بَرٌّ وَبَحْرٌ فَقَدْ أَفْتَاكَ فِي الْبَحْرِ وَبَقِيَ الْبَرُّ .

Hishām ibn ʿAmmār narrated to us: Mālik ibn Anas narrated to us: Ṣafwān ibn Sulaym told me, from Saʿīd ibn Salamah, from the family of Ibn al-Azraq, that al-Mughīrah ibn Abī Burdah—of Banū ʿAbd al-Dār—told him that he heard Abū Hurayrah say: The Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Its water is pure and purifying, and its dead creatures are lawful to eat. Abū ʿAbd Allāh said: I heard that Abū ʿUbaydah al-Jawwād said: This is half of knowledge, because the world is land and sea. He gave you the ruling concerning the sea, and the land remains.
