Chapter: Being economical with food and the undesirability of eating one’s fill
Hadith 3349
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْحِمْصِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ , حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي , عَنْ أُمِّهَا , أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ الْمِقْدَامَ بْنَ مَعْدِ يكَرِبَ , يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " مَا مَلَأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ , حَسْبُ الْآدَمِيِّ لُقَيْمَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ , فَإِنْ غَلَبَتِ الْآدَمِيَّ نَفْسُهُ , فَثُلُثٌ لِلطَّعَامِ , وَثُلُثٌ لِلشَّرَابِ , وَثُلُثٌ لِلنَّفَسِ " .
´Miqdam bin Madikarib said:` “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.’”
