Quran
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُلُوا مِمَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا خُطُوَاتِ الشَّيْطَانِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ
"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
Commands consumption of wholesome (tayyib) foods, directly relevant to hypertension management which requires dietary restriction of excess salt and harmful processed foods.
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 أَنْتُمْ 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
Prohibits dietary excess (i'tida'), a key factor in hypertension pathogenesis through overconsumption of sodium and calorie-dense foods.
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."
Overeating directly increases blood volume and vascular resistance, making this hadith central to hypertension prevention through portion control and weight management.
دَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَمَعَهُ عَلِىٌّ وَعَلِىٌّ نَاقِهٌ وَلَنَا دَوَالٍ مُعَلَّقَةٌ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَأْكُلُ وَعَلِىٌّ يَأْكُلُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِعَلِىٍّ مَهْ مَهْ إِنَّكَ نَاقِهٌ
"The Messenger of Allah came to me and Ali was with him. Ali was recovering from illness. We had bunches of dates hanging. The Messenger of Allah began to eat and Ali began to eat. The Messenger of Allah said to Ali: 'Stop, stop! You are recovering from illness.'"
Demonstrates prophetic guidance on restricting intake during illness states, applicable to hypertensive patients requiring dietary modification and controlled consumption.

Ibn Sīnā · Al-Qānūn fī al-Ṭibb
Ibn Sina, Al-Qanun fi al-Tibb, Book 3, Fann 5 (Diseases of the Heart and Arteries), discusses fullness of pulse (imtila' al-'uruq) and强 pulsation - recommends venesection in plethoric conditions, dietary restriction, gentle exercise, and cooling herbs like chicory and endive to reduce blood heat and thickness.
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 - emphasizes the prophetic principle of eating one-third portions to prevent plethora (imtila') and excess heat in the blood vessels, recommending cupping (hijama) for those with sanguine temperament and vascular fullness.
