that the Prophet ﷺ said: “No vessel is worse than the stomach. It is sufficient for a Muslim to have a few bites that keep his back upright. But if he must, then a third for his food, a third for his drink, and a third for his breath.”
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَا وِعَاءٌ شَرَّ مِنْ بَطْنٍ: حَسْبُ الْمُسْلِمِ أُكُلَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ. فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا مَحَالَةَ، فَثُلُثٌ لِطَعَامِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِشَرَابِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِنَفَسِهِ».
