Do not give too much importance to food and drink
Hadith 2225
- " إن مطعم ابن آدم قد ضرب للدنيا مثلا، فانظر ما يخرج من ابن آدم وإن قزحه وملحه، قد علم إلى ما يصير ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The food of the son of Adam has set forth an example for the world. You see what comes out from the son of Adam (in the form of excrement) after he eats; even if the food is spiced and salted, he knows what it ultimately becomes."
