The Prophet ﷺ, though simple in his diet, had a distinct love for pumpkin (dubba).

The Companion Anas ibn Malik (ra) narrated observing a meal where soup was served. He said, "I saw the Prophet ﷺ picking out the pieces of pumpkin from around the dish."

Inspired by this, Anas loved pumpkin ever after.

This beautiful detail reveals the depth of the Companions' love—they sought to emulate the Messenger ﷺ in every aspect, even in his personal taste for food.
