Summary
Such a hadith exists, narrated by al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah from Abu Hurairah RA, and it is graded hasan. The equivalence refers to reward, meaning both types of people are entitled to recompense from Allah SWT. The grateful eater is one who fulfils the due of eating, such as praising Allah SWT and using strength for obedience, while the patient faster endures hunger and thirst and guards the fast.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kesimpulannya, hadith yang menceritakan berkaitan kedudukan orang makan yang bersyukur sama seperti orang berpuasa yang bersabar adalah hasan dan keduanya berhak mendapat ganjaran daripada Allah SWT.
