Sunan Ibn Majah 3351 (Book 29, Hadith 101) #32705
The Consequences of Overindulgence

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the consequences of overindulging in food and how it will affect one on the Day of Resurrection.

It was narrated that 'Atiyyah bin 'Amir Al-Juhani said: "I heard Salman, when he was forced to eat food, say: 'It is sufficient for me that I heard the Messenger of Allah say: The people who most eat their fill in this world will be the most hungry on the Day of Resurrection.’"
حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ مُوسَى الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَلْمَانَ، وَأُكْرِهَ، عَلَى طَعَامٍ يَأْكُلُهُ فَقَالَ حَسْبِي إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ شِبَعًا فِي الدُّنْيَا أَطْوَلُهُمْ جُوعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns against overindulging in food and other worldly pleasures. It teaches us that those who eat too much in this world will be hungrier on the Day of Resurrection. We should not forget that our ultimate goal is to please Allah and prepare for the afterlife. We should strive to find a balance between enjoying what we have been given in this life while also preparing for what comes after it.

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that moderation is key when it comes to indulging in worldly pleasures such as eating too much or spending too much money on unnecessary items. He warned us against becoming attached to these things because they are temporary and will not benefit us when we stand before Allah on Judgment day. Instead, he encouraged us to focus our energy on doing good deeds so that we can be rewarded with eternal bliss in Paradise instead of hunger and thirst on the Day of Resurrection.
