Wisdom does not enter a stomach that is full of food.
Whoever eats less, drinks less.
Whoever drinks less, sleeps lightly.
Whoever sleeps lightly, the blessings in his life are evident.
Whoever's stomach is full, drinks more.
Whoever drinks more, sleeps heavily.
Whoever sleeps heavily, the blessings in his life are diminished.
If he is content with less than satiety, his body is well-nourished, and his soul and heart are in good condition.
Whoever fills himself with food nourishes his body but makes his soul arrogant and hardens his heart.
Beware of excess in food, for it marks the heart with hardness, slows the limbs from obedience, and deafens the ears from hearing admonition.
Very hot food is blameworthy, and the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade it.
And similarly, the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade eating while reclining.
It was narrated by Bukhari.
Ubayy ibn Ka'b said that this is the action of the tyrants.
