And from Al-Reza -asws having said: ‘If only the people had reduced in the meal, their bodies would have been straight’’. [1] وَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَيْسَ الْحِمْيَةُ مِنَ الشَّيْ‏ءِ تَرْكَهُ إِنَّمَا الْحِمْيَةُ مِنَ الشَّيْ‏ءِ الْإِقْلَالُ مِنْهُ‏. And from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘The dieting from the thing isn’t leaving it. But rather, the dieting from the thing is the reducing from it’’. [2] وَ عَنِ الْعَالِمِ ع قَالَ: الْحِمْيَةُ رَأْسُ الدَّوَاءِ وَ الْمَعِدَةُ بَيْتُ الدَّاءِ وَ عَوِّدْ بَدَناً مَا تَعَوَّدَ.

Al-Shihaab – ‘He -saww said: ‘Have dinner and even if it be a handful of dry yeast, for neglecting the dinner ages (a person, i.e., weakens)’’. [6] وَ مِنْهُ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: طَعَامُ اللَّيْلِ أَنْفَعُ مِنْ طَعَامِ النَّهَارِ. And from him, by his chain, ‘From Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Food at night is beneficial than food at daytime’’. [7] وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ وَ هُوَ الْخُتَّلِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَوْماً يَقُولُ‏ مَنْ تَرَكَ الْعَشَاءَ لَيْلَةَ السَّبْتِ وَ لَيْلَةَ الْأَحَدِ مُتَوَالِيَتَيْنِ ذَهَبَتْ مِنْهُ قُوَّةٌ لَمْ تَرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً. And from him, from his father, from Suleyman, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan, and he is Al Khutaly, from his father, from Jameel Bin Darraj who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying one day: ‘One who neglects the dinner on the night of Saturday and the night of Sunday consecutively, strength would go away from him, not returning to him for forty days’’. [8] وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ صَامِتٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي شِهَابِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ: شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَا أَلْقَى مِنَ الْأَوْجَاعِ وَ التُّخَمِ فَقَالَ تَغَدَّ وَ تَعَشَّ وَ لَا تَأْكُلْ بَيْنَهُمَا شَيْئاً فَإِنَّ فِيهِ فَسَادَ الْبَدَنِ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ- لَهُمْ رِزْقُهُمْ فِيها بُكْرَةً وَ عَشِيًّا. And from him, from Al Nazr, from Ali Bin Samit, from a son of a brother of Shihab Bin Abd Rabbih who said, ‘I complained to Abu Abdullah -asws of what I was facing from the pains and the indigestion. He ‑asws said: ‘Have lunch and dinner and do not eat anything between the two for in it is spoiling of the body. Have you not heard Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Saying: and for them would be their sustenance therein morning and evening [19:62] ’’. [9] الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ لَا يَخْرُجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى يَطْعَمَ فَإِنَّهُ أَعَزُّ لَهُ‏.
