الْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَالصَّلاةُ وَالسَّلامُ عَلَى رَسُولِ
اللهِ وَبَعْد
It is
related that Maalik bin Deenar (rahimahullaah) said:
Eating to
the fill hardens the heart and weakens the body. [And he also said]: Whoever
gains mastery over his stomach, will gain mastery over all the righteous
actions.
Mawsoo’ah
Ibn Abi al-Dunyaa (4/96) through Hayat al-Salaf of Ahmad al-Tayyar.
Note:
Eating to the fill is harmful to both
health (sihhah) and faith (eemaan) and
discipline in controlling one’s appetite leads to discipline over all
the righteous actions. If you can control the desires of the belly, then that
training provides the patience required to master the (performance of)
righteous deeds.
