A tailor invited the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to a meal he had prepared.Anas said, "I went with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to that meal. He brought him barley bread and a broth containing gourd. I saw the Prophet ﷺ picking out the pieces of gourd from around the bowl, and from that day on I never stopped loving gourd."
إن خياطا دعا رسول الله ﷺ لطعام صنعه. قال أنس: فذهبت مع رسول الله ﷺ إلى ذلك الطعام، فقرب إلي خبزا من شعير ومرقا فيه دباء. قال أنس: فرأيت النبي ﷺ يتتبع الدباء من حول القصعة، فلم أزل أحب الدباء بعد ذلك اليوم.
Malik narrated it in the Book of Marriage (51), from Ishaq bin Abdullah bin Abu Talha, that he heard Anas bin Malik say what has been mentioned. Bukhari narrated it in the Book of Sales (2092), and Muslim in the Book of Drinks (2041), both of them through the route of Malik, with the same wording.
