Mujahid reported: Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “O people, beware of gluttony in eating. Verily, it causes laziness in prayer, it harms the body, it contracts disease, and Allah Almighty detests the fatness of a cleric. Rather, you must be moderate in your provisions, for it is closer to righteousness, further from extravagance, and stronger for the worship of Allah. Verily, a servant is not destroyed unless he prefers his desires over his religion.”

عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْبِطْنَةَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَإِنَّهَا مَكْسَلَةٌ عَنِ الصَّلاةِ مُفْسِدَةٌ لِلْجَسَدِ مُوَرِّثَةٌ لِلسَّقَمِ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يُبْغِضُ الْحَبْرَ السَّمِينَ وَلَكِنْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْقَصْدِ فِي قُوتِكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ أَدْنَى مِنَ الإِصْلاحِ وَأَبْعَدُ مِنَ السَّرَفِ وَأَقْوَى عَلَى عِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَنْ يَهْلِكَ عَبْدٌ حَتَّى يُؤْثَرَ شَهْوَتَهُ عَلَى دِينِهِ
