Sahih al-Bukhari 5394 (Book 70, Hadith 22) #5168
Satisfaction with Little Food

SUMMARY: A believer is satisfied with a little food, while an unbeliever or hypocrite eats too much.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Messenger said, "A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with a little food), and a kafir (unbeliever) or a hypocrite eats in seven intestines (eats too much).
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلاَمٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَأْكُلُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ، وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ ـ أَوِ الْمُنَافِقَ فَلاَ أَدْرِي أَيَّهُمَا قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ـ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ بِمِثْلِهِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us that believers should be content and satisfied with little food. It is important to remember that we should not overindulge in eating, as this can lead to health problems and other issues. The Prophet ﷺ also warns us against being like unbelievers or hypocrites who eat too much. We should strive to be content and grateful for what we have, rather than wanting more than what we need. This hadith encourages us to practice moderation in our eating habits and reminds us of the importance of being thankful for what Allah has given us.
