العربية (الأصل)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ الْكِنَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ جَابِرٍ الطَّائِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْمِقْدَامَ بْنَ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ الْكِنْدِيَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَا مَلَأَ ابْنُ آدَمَ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ حَسْبُ ابْنِ آدَمَ أُكُلَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَثُلُثُ طَعَامٍ وَثُلُثُ شَرَابٍ وَثُلُثٌ لِنَفْسِهِ.
الترجمة الإنجليزية
Abu al-Mughira narrated to us: Sulayman b. Sulaym al-Kinani narrated to us: Yahya b. Jabir al-Ta'i narrated to us, who said: I heard al-Miqdam b. Ma'dikarib al-Kindi say: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The son of Adam has never filled a vessel worse than his belly. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to have a few mouthfuls to keep his back upright; and if he must fill it, then let a third be for food, a third for drink, and a third for his breath."
