Yahya related to me from Malik that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn AbiTalha heard Anas ibn Malik say that a certain tailor invited theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to eatsome food which he had prepared.Anas said, "I went with theMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to eatthe food. He served barley bread and a soup with pumpkin in it. I sawthe Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, goingafter the pumpkin around the dish, so I have always liked pumpkinsince that day."
