Silsilah as-Sahihah 1909 — The Prophet’s favorite vegetable

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Tariq (who is also called Ibn Abi Tariq) رضي الله عنه says: I went to the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم at his house and there were some gourds with him. I asked: What is this? The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم replied: "These are gourds; we use them a lot in our food."
