883 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي خَالِدٍ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَي النَّبِيِّ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَأَيْتُ عِنْدَهُ الدُّبَّاءَ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟، فَقَالَ: «نُكْثِرُ بِهِ طَعَامَ أَهْلِنَا»
Hakeem bin Jabir Ahmasi narrates from his father: I presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). I saw that there was gourd (pumpkin) with him. I asked: O Messenger of Allah! Why is this? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "With this, we will increase the food (curry) for our family."

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Muhammad Ibrahim bin Basheer
Benefit:
Bottle gourd (kadu) is a beneficial vegetable. Adding vegetables, especially bottle gourd, to meat while cooking is a source of blessing and taste. In the hadith narrated from Sayyiduna Anas radi Allahu anhu (Sahih al-Bukhari: 5379), it is mentioned that bottle gourd was a favorite food of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. So, ever since I saw the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, from that day onwards, I have always loved bottle gourd. A true lover is one who loves the beloved and also loves what the beloved loves and prefers. Imam Nawawi rahimahullah states that it is very good for a Muslim to consider bottle gourd desirable and to eat it eagerly as a favored food.
