What is Faith?

English book, p. 143

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Bowing to the will of God and to His Messenger Abu Huzayfah was a man who liked good food. One day having eaten his fill, he entered into the presence of God’s Messenger, where he felt constrained to belch. The Prophet heard him and said: “The most satiated in this world will be the most starved on the Day of Resurrection.” These words made such an impression on Abu Huzayfah that he never ate his fill again.
