“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘A human being fills no worse vessel than his stomach. It is sufficient for a human being to eat a few mouthfuls to keep his spine straight. But if he must (fill it), then one third of food, one third for drink and one third for air.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3349)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٦٧٣٧أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ الْكِنْدِيِّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مَلَأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ حَسْبُ الْآدَمِيِّ لُقْمَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ غَلَبَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ» ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا فَثُلُثٌ طَعَامٌ وَثُلُثٌ شَرَابٌ وَثُلُثٌ لِلنَّفَسِ خَالَفَهُ بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا مَلَأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ حَسْبُ ابْنِ آدَمَ لُقْمَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ غَلَبَتْهُ نَفْسُهُ فَثُلُثٌ طَعَامٌ وَثُلُثٌ شَرَابٌ وَثُلُثٌ لِلنَّفَسِ»

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no worse vessel than a stomach that is full from a Muslim's meals that make him vigorous. But if there is no choice, then one third for his food, one third for his drink, and one third for his breath."  

الكبرى للنسائي:٦٧٣٩أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ جَابِرٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا وِعَاءٌ شَرَّ مِنْ بَطْنٍ حَسْبُ الْمُسْلِمِ أُكُلَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَثُلُثٌ لِطَعَامِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِشَرَابِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِنَفَسِهِ»
