وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم يُحِبُّ الدُّبَّاء فَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ أَوْ دُعِيَ لَهُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَتَبَّعُهُ فَأَضَعُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِمَا أَعْلَمُ أنه يحبه صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم يُحِبُّ الدُّبَّاء فَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ أَوْ دُعِيَ لَهُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَتَبَّعُهُ فَأَضَعُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِمَا أَعْلَمُ أنه يحبه

And with his chain of narration, he said: I heard Anas say: The Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to love gourd (pumpkin). Food was brought to him or he was invited to a meal. Anas said: I would seek the gourd pieces and place them before him because I knew that he loved it.
