The one who eats and is grateful is like the one who fasts and shows endurance.الطاعم الشاكر كالصائم الصابر
Mishkat al-Masabih 4205, 4206
This is the wording of the author; it has come through various chains, some of which are good and some are authentic.
Q: Are they not equal in hardship?
The Shaykh: They may not be equal, but the barriers to sins are greater for the poor person, and the means to commit them are more available for the eater; for the one who controls himself when he has abundance and gives thanks to Him has a great distinction. Who controls himself when he has the ability, except for a few?
