209 – Abu Khaythama narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Yazid ibn Khunays related to us, from Wuhayb ibn al-Ward, who said: ⦗133⦘ A scholar encountered another scholar who surpassed him in knowledge. He asked, “May Allah have mercy on you—tell me, what amount of food may we take without being excessive?” He replied, “That which merely quells hunger, yet stops short of full satiation.”
٢٠٩ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ، عَنْ وُهَيْبِ بْنِ الْوَرْدِ، قَالَ: ⦗١٣٣⦘ لَقِيَ عَالِمٌ عَالِمًا هُوَ فَوْقَهُ فِي الْعِلْمِ، فَقَالَ: رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ هَذَا الطَّعَامِ الَّذِي نُصِيبُهُ لَا إِسْرَافَ فِيهِ مَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ: «مَا سَدَّ الْجُوعَ، وَدُونَ الشِّبَعِ»
