Does the Hadith: "The hungriest people on the Day of Resurrection will be those who were most sated in this world" indicate a dislike for satiety or eating, and what does it consequently require of a Muslim?
It was narrated in the of Abu Juhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to him when he burped: "Restrain your burp, O Abu Juhaifa, for indeed, the one who is most full in this world will be the hungriest on the Day of Resurrection." This hadith was declared weak by Al-Albani. Scholars have mentioned the permissibility of eating until one is full within normal limits, without extravagance. Their proof is the hadith of Anas ibn Malik in Al-Bukhari about the Prophet (peace be upon him) feeding eighty men with a small amount of bread until they were full. Ibn Battal said: "In this is the permissibility for a person to eat until he is full, and that satiety is permissible." Al-Tabari mentioned that satiety is permissible as long as it does not exceed its limit and become extravagance. What is required is what aids in obeying Allah and does not burden its owner from performing obligations and supererogatory acts.
