5393. Narrated Nāfi': Ibn 'Umar never used to take his meal unless a poor man was called to eat with him. One day I brought a poor man to eat with him, the man ate too much, whereupon Ibn 'Umar said, "O Nāfi'! Don't let this man enter my house, for I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with a little food), and a Kāfir (disbeliever) eats in seven intestines (eats much food)."
5393 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ وَاقِدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، قَالَ: كَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، لاَ يَأْكُلُ حَتَّى يُؤْتَى بِمِسْكِينٍ يَأْكُلُ مَعَهُ، فَأَدْخَلْتُ رَجُلًا يَأْكُلُ مَعَهُ فَأَكَلَ كَثِيرًا، فَقَالَ: يَا نَافِعُ، لاَ تُدْخِلْ هَذَا عَلَيَّ، سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «المُؤْمِنُ يَأْكُلُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ، وَالكَافِرُ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ»
