Yahya related to me from Malik that Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha heard Anas ibn Malik say that a certain tailor invited the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to eat
some food which he had prepared.
Anas said, "I went with the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, to eat
the food. He served barley bread and a soup with pumpkin in it. I saw
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, going
after the pumpkin around the dish, so I have always liked pumpkin
since that day."
