The tailor placed bread and curry of blessed calabash and meat before the Noblest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. I saw the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم eating the blessed calabash from the plate after searching for it (after relating this, he رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ said): ‘فَلَمۡ اَزَلۡ اُحِبُّ الدُّبَّاءَ مِنۡ يَوۡمِئِذٍ’, i.e. since that day I like to eat blessed calabash.
