Quran
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
"O mankind, eat from whatever is on earth [that is] lawful and good and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy."
Surah Al-Baqarah · 2:168
This verse establishes the principle of consuming only what is good (tayyib) and lawful, directly addressing dietary excess and poor nutritional choices that lead to hepatic fat accumulation.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُحَرِّمُوا طَيِّبَاتِ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ وَكُلُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي أَنتُم بِهِ مُؤْمِنُونَ
"O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allah has made lawful to you and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors. And eat of what Allah has provided for you [which is] lawful and good. And fear Allah, in whom you are believers."
Surah Al-Ma'idah · 5:87-88
The prohibition against transgression (ta'tadū) in eating applies to metabolic liver disease caused by dietary excess and overconsumption of permitted foods beyond the body's capacity.
Sahih Hadith
مَا مَلَأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ بِحَسْبِ ابْنِ آدَمَ أُكُلَاتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَثُلُثٌ لِطَعَامِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِشَرَابِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِنَفَسِهِ
"No human ever filled a vessel worse than the stomach. Sufficient for any son of Adam are some morsels to keep his back straight. But if it must be, then one third for his food, one third for his drink, and one third for his breath."
This hadith directly addresses overconsumption and excessive caloric intake, the primary pathophysiological mechanism leading to hepatic steatosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
الْمُؤْمِنُ يَأْكُلُ فِي مِعًى وَاحِدٍ وَالْكَافِرُ يَأْكُلُ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَمْعَاءٍ
"The believer eats in one intestine, while the disbeliever eats in seven intestines."
This hadith emphasizes moderation in eating habits among believers, contrasting with the gluttony that drives insulin resistance and hepatic lipid deposition characteristic of fatty liver disease.

Ibn Sina, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, Book 3, Fann 14 (Diseases of the Liver), Chapter on Hepatic Obstruction (Insidād al-Kabid) and Fatty Infiltration - Ibn Sina describes accumulation of phlegmatic and fatty humors in liver parenchyma requiring dietary restriction, hepatic deobstruents (chicory, endive), gentle purgatives, and exercise to restore hepatic temperament.
Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah · Al-Ṭibb an-Nabawī
Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, At-Tibb an-Nabawi, Chapter on Moderation in Food and Drink - Ibn al-Qayyim emphasizes the prophetic principle of filling only one-third of the stomach, explaining that excessive eating weakens digestive heat and causes accumulation of crude humors in the liver, requiring dietary reform as primary treatment.
