"عن عمر قال: إياكم والبطنةَ في الطعام والشراب؛ فإنها مُفْسِدَةٌ لِلْجسَدِ، مورثة للسقم، مكسلة عن الصلاة، وعليكم بالقصد فيهما، فإنه أصلح للجسد، وأبعد من السرف، وإن اللَّه ليبغض الحبر السمين، وإن الرجل لن يهلكَ حتى يُوْثِرَ شهوته على دينه".

"It was narrated from 'Umar, who said: \"Beware of excess (bitnah) in food and drink, for it corrupts the body, brings about sickness, and makes one lazy in prayer. Adhere to moderation in both, for it is better for the body and further from extravagance. Indeed Allah dislikes the fat scholar, and a man will not perish until he prefers his desire over his religion.\""
