00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:05,639
A hadith and commentary.

2
00:00:05,639 --> 00:00:09,689
The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

3
00:00:09,689 --> 00:00:15,730
"Indeed, some of what the spring brings forth kills or nearly kills by overeating."

4
00:00:15,730 --> 00:00:18,309
It is agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

5
00:00:18,309 --> 00:00:20,620
Commentary:

6
00:00:20,620 --> 00:00:24,769
This profound statement has become a proverbial expression.

7
00:00:24,769 --> 00:00:29,460
Abu Hilal al-'Askari stated in Jamharat al-Amthal:

8
00:00:29,460 --> 00:00:34,060
This is a parable set forth by the Prophet, peace be upon him,

9
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:37,060
for one who is granted a portion of worldly wealth,

10
00:00:37,060 --> 00:00:43,859
yet becomes so preoccupied with it, seeking more and clinging to it, that he neglects the rectification of his religion.

11
00:00:43,859 --> 00:00:47,030
Consequently, this becomes the cause of his ruin,

12
00:00:47,030 --> 00:00:51,310
just as livestock, if they do not graze in moderation,

13
00:00:51,310 --> 00:00:55,710
suffer from bloated stomachs and die, or come close to it.

14
00:00:55,710 --> 00:00:57,340
And al-habt (the condition mentioned in the hadith)

15
00:00:57,340 --> 00:00:59,340
is the swelling of the stomach.
