Some Ahādith to think about
It is Narrated by Al-Nu'mān bin Basheer, he said: I have seen your prophet, when he didnt even find the inferior quality of the dates to eat and fill his belly. [Rāwahu Muslim]
Imam An-nāwawi commented on the hādith; this shows the minimum necessary to support life is wanted...
It is narreted by Sahl bin Saad: The Messenger of Allah never had a look at the bread made out of fine flour throughout his life, since the commencement of Revelation untill his death. He was questioned: "Did you not have sieves at the time of Rāsulullah?" He replied; "Allahs Messenger never saw a sieve." He was asked, "How did you manage to eat barley bread made of flour?" He said "We ground it and then blew away the husk and what remained we kneaded into dough".. [Rāwahu AlBukhāri]....
Ahādith In Sāhih Albukhāri:
Nārrated Abu Hurayrāh Rādiyallahu Anh: A man used to eat much, but when he embraced Islam, he started eating less. That was mentioned to the prophet who then said: "A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with a little food", and a kāfir eats in seven intestines (eatc much) - [vol 7 nr 309]
And once Ibn Umar Radiyallahu Anh was sittin next to a poor man, who ate to much, whereupon Ibn Umar said " O Nāfi', Dont let this man enter my house, for I heard the prophet saying " A believer eats in one intestine, and a kafir eats in seven intestines. (chapter 14 in volume 7)
So this is a nāseeha for myself first of all..
Otherwise.,. if u still cant avoid it .. hmm then - a shawarma costs about 20 kr rigght? - split it up between you and māma - 10 kr each.. then you would follow the hadith of Rāsulullāh; Which was narrated by Abu Hurāyrah; The food for two persons is sufficient for three, and the food of three persons is sufficient for four persons." [Sāhih Albukhāri 304 vol 7 ] this reminds me of the Mujāhedeen in Alsheshan.. they had a little plate /pot and they were about 10 persons subhānallah.. each one eating less than the other.. May Allāh have mercy on them Jāmi'an.. Wa As'alullah an yulhiqna Bihim Jāmi'ān.. Ameen..
-- its a test.. u know, we have to train ourselves right now to sacrifice the little things so that we are prepared for the largest sacrifices.. i mean i know u and i ukhti talk all the time about making hijrah to lands where people still know the meaning of struggle, where things arent at our fingertips.. u know i think of what ukhti martyrs never die recounted about the sahabah being tested and being so hungry they ate leaves from the desert and they went to rasul Allah salallahu alayhi wa sallam and asked him to make duaa for allah to ease their trial and what did he tell them? subhanAllah he rebuked them and told them you are an impatient people.
and fa3lan that is what we are! i think of shaikh azzams advice when he told us to live once a week as the mujahideen live.. on dry bread and tea. walahy its not only beneficial for ourselves but im seriously considering taking his advice when i have a family of my own someday. we need more exercises in humility and patience.
are we overeating??
Ibn Taymiyah writes:
"It is established that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: " Indeed, Satan runs in the son of Adam in the way that blood circulates." [Sahīh al-Bukhārī]
There is no doubt that blood is born of what we eat and drink Therefore, when we eat and drink, we broaden the avenues for Satan. This is why it has been said: "Constrict his avenues with hunger."
When Satan's paths are hindered, the heart is inspired to do the good deeds that open the doors of Paradise. It finds it easy to abandon the sins that open the doors of Hell."
Luqmān said to his son: " O my son! If the stomach is full, one's mental processes go to sleep, one's wisdom is dulled, and one's limbs refrain from worship."
Al-Hasan al-Basri, may Allaah have mercy on him, when he would enter the market and heard all that people say in it from shouting and vain talk, he would say:
"I think that these have bad nights." All types of sins contribute to hardness of the heart and prevent from performance of the night prayer, even though some sins are more harmful than others, such as eating what is haram. On the other hand, eating what is halal, like few other things, cleans the heart and guides it to what is good. This is best known by those who watch and control their hearts, due to experiencing it, after the Sharee`ah's testimony to it. This is why some of them right said, "How many bites have prevented performance of the night prayer! How many glances have prevented recitation of a Quranic soorah! Verily the slave eats a bite or does an action and because of it he is prevented standing in performance of the sunnah ( i.e. the night prayer)."
And if We make man taste mercy from Us, then take it off from him, most surely he is despairing, ungrateful. (Hud 11:9)
And when your Lord made it known: If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more, and if you are ungrateful, My chastisement is truly severe.
Narrated by Jaabir. The Prophet (SAW) said :"The shaitaan is present with everyone of you in everything he does; he is even present when he eats food, so if any on of you drops a mouthful, he should remove away anything filthy on it and eat it and not leave it for the devil; and when he finished, he should lick his fingers for he does not know in what portion of his food the blessing ties."
