1. إِنَّ الفَقيهَ هُوَ الفَقيهُ بِفِعلِهِ

    لَيسَ الفَقيهُ بِنُطقِهِ وَمَقالِهِ

    Indeed, a jurist is truly a jurist by his deeds.

    It is not his speech and words that make him a jurist.

  2. وَكَذا الرَئيسُ هُوَ الرَئيسُ بِخُلقِهِ

    لَيسَ الرَئيسُ بِقَومِهِ وَرِجالِهِ

    And likewise, a leader is truly a leader by his character.

    It is not his people and his men that make him a leader.

  3. وَكَذا الغَنِيُ هُوَ الغَنِيُ بِحالِهِ

    لَيسَ الغَنيُّ بِمُلكِهِ وَبِمالِهِ

    And likewise, a rich man is truly rich by his state of being.

    It is not his possessions and his wealth that make him rich.
