حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَتْنِي أُمِّي، عَنْ أُمِّهَا، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ الْمِقْدَامَ بْنَ مَعْدِيكَرِبَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ مَا مَلأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ حَسْبُ الآدَمِيِّ لُقَيْمَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ غَلَبَتِ الآدَمِيَّ نَفْسُهُ فَثُلُثٌ لِلطَّعَامِ وَثُلُثٌ لِلشَّرَابِ وَثُلُثٌ لِلنَّفَسِ ‏"‏ .

English translation
Miqdam bin Madikarib said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘A human being fills no worse vessel than his stomach. It is sufficient for a human being to eat a few mouthfuls to keep his spine straight. But if he must (fill it), then one third of food, one third for drink and one third for air.’”
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। মিকদাম ইবনে মাদীকারিব (রাঃ) বলেন, আমি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম কে বলতে শুনেছিঃ মানুষ পেটের চেয়ে নিকৃষ্ট কোন পাত্র ভর্তি করে না। (যতটুকু খাদ্য গ্রহণ করলে পেট ভরে পাত্র থেকে ততটুকু খাদ্য উঠানো কোন ব্যক্তির জন্য দূষণীয় নয়)। যতটুকু আহার করলে মেরুদন্ড সোজা রাখা সম্ভব, ততটুকু খাদ্যই কোন ব্যক্তির জন্য যথেষ্ট। এরপরও যদি কোন ব্যক্তির উপর তার নফস (প্রবৃত্তি) জয়যুক্ত হয়, তবে সে তার পেটের এক-তৃতীয়াংশ আহারের জন্য, এক-তৃতীয়াংশ পানির জন্য এবং এক তৃতীয়াংশ শ্বাস-প্রশ্বাসের জন্য রাখবে।
