[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to love bears. Hujaj Al-Qar'a said that he was given food or invited to it. Anas said, "So I started to follow him and put it in front of him because I knew that he liked it."  

أحمد:١٢٨١١حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحِبُّ الدُّبَّاءَ قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ الْقَرْعَ قَالَ فَأُتِيَ بِطَعَامٍ أَوْ دُعِيَ لَهُ قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَجَعَلْتُ أَتَتَبَّعُهُ فَأَضَعُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِمَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّهُ
