Anas b. Malik reported:
A tailor invited Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to a meal which he had prepared. Anas b. Malik said: I went along with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to that feast. He presented to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) barley bread and soup containing pumpkin, and sliced pieces of meat. Anas said: I saw Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) going after the pumpkin round the dish, so I have always liked the pumpkin since that day.
