In Section 134 of Subhat al-Abrar (part of the Haft Awrang), Jami provides a spiritual and linguistic commentary on the Prophetic hadith, 'A few mouthfuls are sufficient for the son of Adam to keep his spine straight.' Jami highlights the Prophet's choice of words, specifically noting how the Arabic term luqaymat serves as a double indicator of restriction: it is both a diminutive (indicating small size of each morsel) and a plural of paucity (indicating a small number of morsels). Jami argues that this extreme physical moderation is a direct prerequisite for spiritual devotion, as it prevents greed and maintains the bodily health required to stand upright in worship and obedience (ta'at).
