Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Abu 'Ammar asking in the first section about the meaning of the hadithAl-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 42:110,
Answer:
The hadith clearly indicates that a person should not overeat or be excessive in eating, but rather as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. A person eats, but he does not overeat or fill his stomach; because that makes him lazy in obedience and discourages him from obedience, and he may be afflicted with diseases and indigestion due to overeating, and perhaps arrogance or self-satisfaction will occur in him when he is full, leading to what results from arrogance, self-satisfaction, pride, and the like. Therefore, there is no good in overeating, but rather moderation in eating as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) guided. Yes.
