الحَثُّ عَلى قِلَّةِ الأكلِ Little [Consumption of] Food

1- رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) : مَنْ قَلَّ طُعْمُهُ صَحَّ بَطْنُهُ وَصَفَا قَلْبُهُ، وَمَنْ كَثُرَ طُعْمُهُ سَقُمَ بَطْنُهُ وقَسَا قَلْبُهُ.

1- The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘A man whose [consumption of] food is little has a healthy stomach and a pure heart, and a man whose food is plenty has a sickly stomach and a hard heart.’[Tanbih al-Khawatir, v. 1, p. 46]

 

2- الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : قِلَّةُ الأَكْلِ مِنَ العَفَافِ ، وَكَثْرَتُهُ مِنَ الإسْرَافِ.

2- Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘Eating little is a sign of self-restraint, and eating a lot is a sign of wastefulness.’[Mustadrak al-Wasail, v. 16, p. 213, no. 19634]
