Show the chain

حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْحِمْصِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي عَنْ أُمِّهَا أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ الْمِقْدَامَ بْنَ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:

«مَا مَلأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ: حَسْبُ الآدَمِيِّ لُقَيْمَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ. فَإِنْ غَلَبَتِ الآدَمِيَّ نَفْسُهُ، فَثُلُثٌ لِلطَّعَامِ وَثُلُثٌ لِلشَّرَابِ وَثُلُثٌ لِلنَّفَسِ».

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "A human being does not fill any vessel worse than the stomach. It is enough for the son of Adam to have a few bites to keep his back upright. But if his appetite overcomes him, then a third is for food, a third for drink, and a third for breath.”
