Volume 7, Book 65, Number 346:
Narrated Anas:
I was a young boy when I once was walking with Allah’s Apostle . Allah’s Apostle entered the
house of his slave tailor and the latter brought a dish filled with food covered with pieces of gourd.
Allah’s Apostle started picking and eating the gourd. When I saw that, I started collecting and pla –
cing the gourd before him. Then the slave returned to his work. Anas added: I have kept on loving
gourd since I saw Allah’s Apostle doing what he was doing.
