[29] One is better-off eating one-third of the Belly: مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ صَالِحٍ النِّيلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُبْغِضُ كَثْرَةَ الْأَكْلِ وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لَيْسَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ بُدٌّ مِنْ أَكْلَةٍ يُقِيمُ بِهَا صُلْبَهُ فَإِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ طَعَاماً فَلْيَجْعَلْ ثُلُثَ بَطْنِهِ لِلطَّعَامِ وَ ثُلُثَ بَطْنِهِ لِلشَّرَابِ وَ ثُلُثَ بَطْنِهِ لِلنَّفَسِ وَ لَا تَسَمَّنُوا تَسَمُّنَ الْخَنَازِيرِ لِلذَّبْحِ .
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Sinan, from Salih Al Nayli, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah -asws having said that Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Hates the abundant eating’. And Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘There is no (choice) for the son of Adam -as except that he must eat to straighten his lineage by it.
So when one of you eats food, so let him make a third of his belly for the food, and a third of his belly for the drink, and a third of his belly for the breathing, and do not fatten yourselves like the fattening of the pigs for the slaughter’.
