Musnad Abi Ya'la 4277 — A bowl containing gourd was presented
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمٌ الْعَلَوِيُّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : قُرِّبَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - صَحْفَةٌ فِيهَا قَرْعٌ ، وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ ، قَالَ : فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ يُدْخِلُ إِصْبَعَهُ يَلْتَمِسُ الْقَرْعَ ، قَالَ : فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ ، فَرَأَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرَ صُفْرَةٍ فَكَرِهَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَكَانَ لَا يُوَاجِهُ رَجُلًا فِي وَجْهِهِ بِشَيْءٍ يَكْرَهُهُ ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ ، قَالَ لِبَعْضِ الْقَوْمِ : لَوْ أَمَرْتُمْ هَذَا أَنْ يَدَعَ هَذِهِ الصُّفْرَةَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): "A bowl containing gourd was presented to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) liked it (as it was a favourite of his)." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: "I saw him (peace and blessings be upon him) moving his blessed finger in the bowl searching for the gourd. Meanwhile, a man came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) on whom traces of a yellow colour (of perfume and the like) were visible. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) disliked it, and it was his (peace and blessings be upon him) noble character that he would not say to anyone's face something that would displease him. So when that man got up and left, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to some of the people present in the gathering: 'If only you would tell this man to give up this yellow colour (it would be better).'"
