It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What I fear most for you regarding rebellion are the desires related to your bellies, your private parts, misleading desires, and tribulations.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … To pursue the pleasures of the world according to the desires of the self, to consider various kinds of foods and all sorts of drinks as the very purpose of life—whether they are lawful (halal) or unlawful (haram)—and to commit adultery (zina) in order to fulfill lust.
If we examine the Muslims of the entire world, almost all the wealthy have become slaves to the pleasures of eating and drinking. Expensive hotels are chosen just to have a single meal; hoteling continues until one or two o’clock at night. Some travel twenty kilometers out of the city just to have dinner; some go from one end of the city to the other to enjoy ice cream. In fact, people have been found importing food items from other countries. On the occasion of a single invitation, five or six dishes are presented; whichever hotel you go to, a menu consisting of hundreds of dishes is placed before you. It takes twenty to twenty-five minutes just to decide which food to choose. In short, that which the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam feared has reached its extreme.
As for the issue of the curse of adultery (zina), a considerable number of those who claim Islam have become involved in this baseness. The names of some countries are even mentioned specifically, that most of their inhabitants have become shameless.
