فإياكم وفضول المطعم، فإنه يسم القلب بالقسوة، ويبطئ بالجوارح عن الطاعة، ويصم الأذان عن السماع للموعظة،
Beware of excess in food, for it marks the heart with hardness, slows the limbs from obedience, and deafens the ears from hearing admonition.
الطَّاعَةِ — the obedience. This is the noun governed by 'from', in the genitive because of it and made definite by 'al-'. It names obedience as the thing the limbs are slowed away from.
