Sahih al-Bukhari 5179 (Book 70, Hadith 21)
brought a poor man to eat with him, the man ate too much, whereupon Ibn `Umar said, “O Nafi`!
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 kafir (unbeliever) eats in seven intestines (eats much food).
“ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَأْكُلُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ وَالْكَافِرُ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ ”.

The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Among the six canonical hadith collections of Sunni Islam, known as the Kutub al-Sittah, Sahih al-Bukhari is frequently accorded the highest rank. This esteemed status is a testament to the rigorous scholarly methods employed by its compiler, Muḥammad al-Bukhārī, who finished his work around 847. The collection is vast, containing an estimated 7,563 individual reports detailing the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad. These are carefully categorized into 97 chapters, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding Islamic doctrine, law, and spiritual practice.
