بخش ۱۳۴ - قال رسول الله صلی الله علیه و سلم یکفی ابن آدم فی لقیمات یقمن صلبه / Section 134 - The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: 'A few mouthfuls are sufficient for the son of Adam to keep his spine straight'

Original content

مصطفی گفت آدمیزاده
که به خوردن حریص افتاده

باشدش چند لقمگک کافی
که به ابقای او بود وافی

قامت او ازان بماند راست
بهر طاعت به پا تواند خاست

لقمه را اولا مصغر کرد
بعد ازان جمع قلتش آورد

یعنی آندم که لقمه بندی کار
خرد باید به قدر و کم به شمار

English translation

Mustafa said: The human being, who has become greedy in eating, will find a few tiny morsels sufficient, which are enough to sustain him. His stature will remain upright therefrom, and he will be able to stand up for worship. First, he made the word 'morsel' a diminutive, and after that, he used the plural of paucity. Meaning, when you manage your food, the morsels must be small in size and few in number.
