Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّ الدُّبَّاءَ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ أَوْ دُعِيَ لَهُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَتَبَّعُهُ فَأَضَعُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِمَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّهُ.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to love gourd (pumpkin). When food was brought to him or he was invited to eat, Anas said: 'I would pick out pieces of gourd and place them before him, knowing that he loved it.'
