Hadith # 516
Miqdad bin Ma'dikarib (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "No man fills a container worse than his stomach. A few morsels that keep his back upright are sufficient for him. If he has to, then he should keep one-third for food, one-third for drink and one-third for his breathing."
[At-Tirmidhi]
Commentary
This Hadith dissuades us from overeating as this causes laziness and affects one's health.
