8. Don’t eat Much

It is reported that Al-Hasan Al-Basri – Allah have mercy on him – said:

“By He in whose Hand is my soul, I have lived amongst

people who never ordered food to be prepared for

themselves If [food] was presented to one of them, he

would eat, otherwise, he would be silent; and he would

not care if it was hot or cold.”

                                                                                          -[Abû Nu’aym, Hilyatu Al-Awliyâ` 6:270.]

It is also reported that he said:

“By Allâh, I have lived amongst people who when taking

lunch, if they were about to be full, would stop eating.”
