Moderation of eating and drinking
Protect yourself from indigestion and overeating, following the need and the rule that you must obey in eating and drinking. In well-attributed and other traditions, the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wa salam) is reported to have said:
“The human has not filled a container worse than a stomach, he only needs a few mouthfuls which hold his back, if he does it out of necessity, he must leave a third to eat, the second third to drink and the third to breathe” [Reported by Attirmidhi, ibn Majja and Ibn Hayyan]
Distribution of diseases originating from food: The variety of diseases:
There are various types of diseases:
Material diseases caused by the excess of a material exceeding the limits in the body until it interferes with its natural actions, this is the origin of most diseases, their causes are: introducing into the body, food before the one that precedes it is digested.
– The excess quantity that the body needs
-Eat foods that are not very useful and are digested slowly.
– The abundance of foods of diverse and varied compositions.
If a human fills his stomach with these foods, and if he gets used to them, they will cause him discomfort, different illnesses, some heal slowly and others quickly. If he nourishes himself in moderation and eats according to his need, quantitatively and qualitatively, moderately, the body will be better served than by the large quantity of food.
The degrees of food
1 – The degree of need
The Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) informed us: “…It is enough for him to have a few mouthfuls which hold his back, with which his strength does not diminish or weaken; if he exceeds them, he must eat by filling a third of his belly, and leave the other third for water and the last third for breath. »
2 – Harm of excess food
What has been mentioned above is more useful to the body and the heart: for if the belly is full of food, then it will be unable to receive the drink, and if it brings the drink there, then it will be very difficult. tight for breath. It will cause him affliction and fatigue; and will be considered as one who carries a heavy burden, from which results the corruption of the heart, the laziness of the organs to be docile, their movements towards desires which require satiety.
Filling the stomach with food harms the heart and the body Ach chafi’i ( Radhiallahu ) said:
“For sixteen years, I have had my fill only once, when I vomited, because satiation weighs down the body and hardens the heart, rejects prudence, attracts sleep, and makes its author weak towards his worship”
…This happens if the satiation is permanent or if it is frequent, but if it occurs occasionally there will be no inconvenience.
Abu Horaira ( Radhiallahu anhu ) drank milk in the presence of the Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) until he said: “By that which sent you by the truth, I find no passage for it.”
The companions ( Radhiallahu anhu m) ate several times in his presence, until they were satisfied.
Excessive satiation weakens the strength and the body, even if it fertilizes it, but it strengthens the body according to the food it accepts, but not according to the abundance. This is why, for our well-being, it is good to follow the words of the beloved Prophet (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) who said: “…He must leave the third for eating, the second third for drinking and the third to breathe. »
