pumpkin in it. He said: “I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked pumpkin.” Anas said: “I have continued to like pumpkin ever since I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) liking it.”

Aḥmad (3/208, 210–211, 232, 252, 270, and 289) and Ibn Saʿd (1/391) narrated it through various routes from him. This is an authentic chain of transmission according to the criteria of the two Shaykhs. The term ihālah refers to every kind of fat used as an accompaniment to food, though another view has also been expressed. Sanikha means that whose smell has changed.

2130 — “He would ride a donkey, mend his sandals, patch his shirt, and say: ‘Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me.’”

Abū al-Shaykh (p. 128) and al-Sahmī, in The History of Jurjān (315), narrated it through the route of Abū Yaʿlā, who said: Isḥāq ibn Abī Isrāʾīl narrated to us; Yaḥyā ibn Yaʿlā narrated to us, from Mukhtār al-Taymī, from Kurz ibn Wabarah al-Ḥārithī, from Abū Ayyūb, in a report attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

I say: This chain of transmission is weak. Mukhtār—namely, Mukhtār ibn Nāfiʿ al-Taymī—is weak, as is Yaḥyā ibn Yaʿlā, who was al-Aslamī al-Kūfī. However, it has a strong mursal supporting report. Ibn Saʿd (1/372) said: Muḥammad ibn Muqātil al-Khurāsānī informed us; ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Mubārak informed us; Sufyān informed us that al-Ḥasan said:

“When Allah sent Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), He said: ‘This is My Prophet; this is My chosen one. Take him as your example, and follow his Sunnah and his way. No doors were closed to keep people away from him, no chamberlains stood before him, and no large platters of food were brought to him morning or evening. He would sit on the ground and eat his food on the ground; he wore coarse garments, rode a donkey, gave another a ride behind him, and licked his fingers. He would say: “Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me.”’”

I say: This is an authentic mursal chain of transmission. All of its narrators are trustworthy and among al-Bukhārī’s narrators.

فيها قرع، قال: فرأيت النبي ﷺ يعجبه القرع، قال أنس: لم يزل يعجبني القرع منذ رأيت رسول الله ﷺ يعجبه ". أخرجه أحمد (٣ / ٢٠٨ و ٢١٠ - ٢١١ و ٢٣٢ و ٢٥٢ و ٢٧٠ و ٢٨٩) وابن سعد (١ / ٣٩١) من طرق عنه. وهذا إسناد صحيح على شرط الشيخين. قوله: (والإهالة) : هي كل شيء من الأدهان مما يؤتدم به، وقيل غير ذلك. و (السنخة) : المتغيرة الريح. ٢١٣٠ - " كان يركب الحمار ويخصف النعل ويرقع القميص، ويقول: من رغب عن سنتي فليس مني ". رواه أبو الشيخ (ص ١٢٨) والسهمي في " تاريخ جرجان " (٣١٥) من طريق أبي يعلى حدثنا إسحاق بن أبي إسرائيل حدثنا يحيى بن يعلى عن مختار التيمي عن كرز ابن وبرة الحارثي عن أبي أيوب مرفوعا. قلت: وهذا إسناد ضعيف، مختار - وهو ابن نافع التيمي - ضعيف، ومثله يحيى ابن يعلى وهو الأسلمي الكوفي. لكن له شاهد مرسل قوي، قال ابن سعد (١ / ٣٧٢) : أخبرنا محمد بن مقاتل الخراساني : أخبرنا عبد الله بن المبارك قال: أخبرنا سفيان أن الحسن قال: " لما بعث الله محمدا ﷺ قال: هذا نبيي، هذا خياري، ائتسوا به، وخذوا في سنته وسبيله، لم يكن تغلق دونه الأبواب ولا تقوم دونه الحجبة ولا يغدى عليه بالجفان ولا يراح عليه بها، يجلس على الأرض ويأكل طعامه بالأرض ويلبس الغليظ ويركب الحمار ويردف بعده ويلعق أصابعه، وكان يقول: من يرغب عن سنتي فليس مني ". قلت: وهذا إسناد صحيح مرسل، رجاله كلهم ثقات رجال البخاري.
