Chapter: It is permissible to eat soup, and it is recommended to eat squash, And for the people eating together to show preference to one another even if they are guests, so long as the host does not object to that
Anas b. Malik reported that a person invited Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) to a meal. I also went along with him. He brought soup containing pumpkin. Allah's 'messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ate that pumpkin with relish. He (Anas) said: When I saw that I began to place it before him, and did not eat it (myself). Anas said: It was since then that pumpkin was always my favourite (food).
