29. Food
٢٩۔ كتاب الأطعمة
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "A human being does not fill any vessel worse than the stomach. It is enough for the son of Adam to have a few bites to keep his back upright. But if his appetite overcomes him, then a third is for food, a third for drink, and a third for breath.”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «مَا مَلأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ: حَسْبُ الآدَمِيِّ لُقَيْمَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ. فَإِنْ غَلَبَتِ الآدَمِيَّ نَفْسُهُ، فَثُلُثٌ لِلطَّعَامِ وَثُلُثٌ لِلشَّرَابِ وَثُلُثٌ لِلنَّفَسِ».
“A man burped in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and he said: ‘Withhold your burps from us! For the most hungry of you on the Day of Resurrection will be those who most ate their fill in this world.’”
تَجَشَّأَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كُفَّ جُشَاءَكَ عَنَّا فَإِنَّ أَطْوَلَكُمْ جُوعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَكْثَرُكُمْ شِبَعًا فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا
“I heard Salman, when he was forced to eat food, say: ‘It is sufficient for me that I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The people who most eat their fill in this world will be the most hungry on the Day of Resurrection.’”
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ شِبَعًا فِي الدُّنْيَا أَطْوَلُهُمْ جُوعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
