حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، كَانَ يَأْكُلُ أَكْلاً كَثِيرًا، فَأَسْلَمَ فَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ أَكْلاً قَلِيلاً، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَأْكُلُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ، وَالْكَافِرَ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, এক লোক খুব বেশী পরিমাণে আহার করত। লোকটি মুসলিম হলে অল্প আহার করতে লাগল। ব্যাপারটি নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কাছে উল্লেখ করা হলে তিনি বললেনঃ মু’মিন এক পেটে খায়, আর কাফির খায় সাত পেটে। [৫৩৯৯; মুসলিম ৩৬/৩৫, হাঃ ৬০৬৩, ৬০৬৪, আহমাদ ৭৭৭৭] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৪৯৯৬, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
