روى الترمذي في صحيحه(1) عَنْ المِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ـ يَقُولُ: مَا مَلأ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرٌّا مِن بَطْنٍ، بِحَسْبِ ابْنِ آدَمَ أُكُلاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُفَإِنْ كَانَ لا مَحَالَةَ فَثُلُثٌ لِطَعَامِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِشَرَابِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِنَفَسِهِ قَالَ أَبو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ *

"The son of Adam will never fill a container with something worse and evil than his stomach. It will suffice him some morsels (food) that will keep him on his feet, otherwise, he should divide his stomach into three parts: one third for his food, the other for his drink and the other third for his breath." (Ibn Hibban's narration)
