I did not find him at home. People informed me: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has gone nearby; he was at the house of a tailor who was his freed slave. He had prepared food for him, which included pumpkin and meat. The narrator says: I noticed that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) liked pumpkin, so I started placing it before him.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) kept eating from it and also kept distributing it, until nothing was left in that vessel.

If it was said that it was a gift, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would eat it with us, and if it was said that it was charity, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would say: "You people eat it," and the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself would not eat it.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave him something in return and asked: "Are you satisfied?" He replied: "No." The Prophet (peace be upon him) gave him more and asked: "Are you satisfied?" He replied: "Yes." Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "I have decided that from now on I will only accept gifts from a Qurayshi, an Ansari, or a Thaqafi person."

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Are you going to sleep without performing Witr?"

He was neither extremely fair-skinned nor dark-complexioned. His hair was neither completely curly nor completely straight. Allah Almighty appointed him as a Prophet at the age of forty. He (peace be upon him) spent ten years in Makkah and ten years in Madinah. Allah Almighty caused him to pass away at the age of sixty. At that time, there were not even (i.e., there were less than) white hairs in his blessed head and blessed beard.
