1. خَلِّ العَذولَ وَما يَخوضُ وَيَلعَبُ

    إِن كانَ يُسمَعُ إِنَّهُ لَيُكَذَّبُ

    Leave the faultfinder to his idle talk and play.

    If he is listened to, he is surely disbelieved.

  2. إِن قالَ أَحسَبُ أَنَّهُ لَم يَأتِهِم

    أَبَداً فَقُل في العَتبِ ما لا يَحسَبُ

    If he says, ‘I think he has not come to them

    ever,’ then say in reproach what he does not expect.
