أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ الْأَبْرَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ الْكِنَانِيُّ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْمِقْدَامِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ

«مَا مَلَأَ آدَمَيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ حَسْبُكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لُقَيْمَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَكَ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا بُدَّ فَثُلُثٌ طَعَامٌ وَثُلُثٌ شَرَابٌ وَثُلُثٌ نَفَسٌ»

✧ I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "A human does not fill any vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to eat a few mouthfuls that will keep him upright. But if he must (eat more), then one third for his food, one third for his drink and one third for his breath."
