Eating Raw Gourd

Scholars have said that whoever sees themselves eating raw gourd may experience fear from jinn and humans, or engage in dispute and conflict with another person. This interpretation is linked to the words of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq and Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, where raw gourd is associated with "Al-Qari'ah," signifying great fear or contention. In contrast, cooked gourd is mentioned to indicate the return of one's intellect and mind, citing the story of a prophet whose loss of intellect was remedied by eating cooked gourd.
