٥٣٩٧. Narrated Abū Hurairah رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: A man used to eat much, but when he embraced Islām, he started eating less. That was mentioned to the Prophet ﷺ who then said, "A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with a little food) and a Kāfir (disbeliever) eats in seven intestines (eats much)."
5397 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ يَأْكُلُ أَكْلًا كَثِيرًا، فَأَسْلَمَ، فَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ أَكْلًا قَلِيلًا، فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ المُؤْمِنَ يَأْكُلُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ، وَالكَافِرَ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ»
