1. إِذا ما الشَيءُ فاتَ فَخَلَّ عَنهُ

    وَلا تَشهَد بِما لَم تَستَبِنهُ

    If something has passed you by, let it go.

    And do not testify to what you have not clearly ascertained.

  2. تَوَسَّط كُلَّ رَأيٍ أَنتَ فيهِ

    وَخُذ بِمَجامِعِ الطَرَفَينِ مِنهُ

    Take the middle course in every opinion you hold.

    And grasp the points where its two extremes meet.
