The King’s Diet ..........!! The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “The son of Adam does not fill any vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of Adam to eat a few morsels to keep him alive. If he must fill it, then one-third for his food, one-third for his drink, and one-third for air.” [Tirmidhi] Once a king asked a doctor, “How much should I eat?” The doctor said, “As little as the weight of one hundred coins a day.” The king queried, “What strength would this little quantity give me?” The physician replied, “This quantity will support and carry you. If you eat more you will have to support and carry it. Eat to live, don’t live to eat.” Sufyaan al-Thawri said, “If you want your body to be healthy and to sleep less, then eat less.” Eating too much also makes the heart hard and heedless of Allah. Imam Ahmad was asked, “Does a man find any softness and humility in his heart when he is full?” He replied, “I do not think so.” And that is why the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) and his companions used to go hungry quite frequently, even in the presence of abundant food.
