The Digestive System of Believers

SUMMARY: Believers have a simpler and more efficient digestive system than non-believers.

Abu Musa reported Allah's Messenger as saying: A believer eats in one intestine, whereas a non-believer eats in seven intestines.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا بُرَيْدٌ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَأْكُلُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ وَالْكَافِرُ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ

According to this hadith, believers have a simpler and more efficient digestive system than non-believers. It is said that a believer eats in one intestine whereas a non-believer eats in seven intestines.
