Harms of over eating
Submitted by Mohammed Desai on
حدثنا هشام بن عبد الحمصي . حدثنا محمد بن حرب . حدثتني أمي عن أمها أنها سمعت المقدام بن معديكرب يقول سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم يقول
( ما ملأ آدمي وعاء شرا من بطن . حسب الآدمي لقيمات يقمن صلبه . فإن غلبت الآدمي نفسه فثلث للطعام وثلث للشراب وثلث للنفس
Hadrat Miqdaam ibn Maa’dikarib R.A. says, “I heard Rasulullah Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam saying that a person hasn’t filled a container worse than the stomach. (When the stomach is filled then there are various forms of Deeni and worldly harms) A few morsels of food are sufficient for a person that will keep the back straight. If it is necessary to fill the stomach then the stomach should be divided into three portions, one portion for food, the second portion for water and the third portion for (movement) of air.
By over eating laziness is created in Ibaadat, the desire of sin increases and the health of a person deteriorates. Therefore, this Ummat has been warned.
