It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man invited the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I also went there. When the broth was brought, it contained gourd (pumpkin). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked gourd very much, so I kept separating it and placing it before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but I did not eat it myself. And from that time, I began to like gourd.
