Chapter 21 | Undesirability of Over-Eating

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي كَلَامٍ لَهُ سَيَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِي سَنَةٌ يَأْكُلُ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي مِعَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ يَأْكُلُ الْكَافِرُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ .

1. Abu Ali al-Ash‘ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Muhammad ibn Salim from Ahmad ibn al-Nadr from ‘Amr ibn Shamir in a marfu‘ manner has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, once in one of his speeches said, ‘After me there will come a year when the believing person will eat (an amount needed) for one stomach and the unbelievers will eat (as if needed) for seven stomachs.”’
