Shama'il al-Muhammadiya 151

Anas bin Maalik (may Allah be pleased with him) says:
"Messenger of Allah ﷺ loved gourd (dubbaa-dodhi-kadu). Once food - was presented to Messenger of Allah ﷺ or he attended an invitation. (The narrator doubts on which occasion this took place) where gourd was served. I knew Messenger of Allah ﷺ loved it. I searched for pieces from the curry and presented it to him".

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالا: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْجِبُهُ الدُّبَّاءُ فَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ، أَوْ دُعِيَ لَهُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَتَبَّعُهُ، فَأَضَعُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِمَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّهُ.
