Al-Muwatta de Malik, 1143

Anas Ibn Malek a rapporté: «Un couturier avait invité l'Envoyé d'Allah r (salallahou alayhi wa salam) (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) à un repas qu'il lui avait préparé». Anas continue: «Je me rendis chez l'Envoyé d'Allah r (salallahou alayhi wa salam) (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) et l'accompagnai à ce repas. Il lui avança du pain d'orge et un plat contenant les courges. Anas dit, je, vis l'Envoyé d'Allah r (Sur lui la grâce et la paix d'Allah) chercher les courges autour du plat, et depuis, je n'ai cessé d'aimer les courges». Chapitre XXII Le mariage

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
