1. إِخشَ النَّميمَةَ وَاِتَّئِدْ

    فَهيَ النّفاقُ بِالاِتِّفاقْ

    Fear tale-bearing, and proceed with care.

    For it is hypocrisy, by common agreement.

  2. إِنَّ النّميمَةَ سِلعَةٌ

    راجَت لَدى سوقِ النِّفاقْ

    Indeed, tale-bearing is a commodity

    That has sold well in the market of hypocrisy.
