حدَّثَناه أبو العباس محمد بن يعقوب، أخبرنا محمد بن عبد الله بن عبد الحَكَم، أخبرنا ابن وهب، قال: وأخبرني معاوية بن صالح، قال: سمعتُ يحيى بن جابر يحدِّث عن المِقدام بن مَعْدي كَرِبَ، أنَّ النبيَّ ﷺ قال: "ما وَعَى ابن آدم وعاءً شرًا من بطنٍ، حَسْبُ المسلمِ أُكُلاتٌ يُقِمنَ صُلْبَه، فإن كان لا مَحَالة فثُلثٌ لطعامِه، وثلثٌ لشرابِه، وثلثٌ لنَفَسِه" (1).

[التعليق - من تلخيص الذهبي] ترقيم العلميه 7139 - صحيح
It is narrated from Sayyiduna al-Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The son of Adam has not filled any vessel worse than his stomach. A few morsels are enough for a person to keep his back upright. But if (eating more) is unavoidable, then one third should be for his food, one third for his drink and one third (left empty) for his breathing."

(1) إسناده صحيح، ويحيى بن جابر - وهو ابن حسان الطائي - قد صرّح بسماعه من المقدام بن معدي كرب فيما سيأتي عند المصنف في الرواية (8144)، ومع ذلك فقد تكلم أبو حاتم الرازي في سماعه منه، فقال: يحيى عن المقدام مرسل، وتابعه عليه المزيُّ وغيره من المتأخرين، بينما لم يلتفت لذلك الخطيب البغدادي فقال في "تلخيص المتشابه في الرسم" ص 556: سمع النواس بن سمعان والمقدام بن معدي كرب. وصحّح حديثه هذا الترمذي وابن حبان، وحسّنه الحافظ ابن حجر في "الفتح" 16/ 392، وسماع يحيى من المقدام محتمل جدًّا، فهو بلديُّه، وبين وفاتيهما نحو 39 سنة، والله تعالى أعلم. ومع هذا فقد توبع عليه عن المقدام.
Grading: Its chain is sahih.
Technical note / Defect ('illah): The narrator Yahya bin Jabir (who is Ibn Hassan al-Ta'i) explicitly mentions his hearing from al-Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib in a narration that comes later in this same book (8144). Despite that, Abu Hatim al-Razi questioned his hearing and said: "Yahya's narration from al-Miqdam is mursal", and Imam al-Mizzi and other later scholars followed him in this. On the other hand, al-Khatib al-Baghdadi paid no attention to this and stated in "Talkhis al-Mutashabih fi al-Rasm" p. 556 that he heard from al-Nawwas bin Sam'an and al-Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib. Imam al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Hibban graded this hadith sahih, while al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar called it hasan in "Fath al-Bari" 16/392. Yahya's hearing from al-Miqdam is very likely, because they were from the same city and there are about 39 years between their deaths, and Allah knows best. Moreover, there is also corroboration (mutaba'ah) for it from al-Miqdam.
