قَلِّدْ أُمورَ عبادِ اللهِ ذا ثِقَةٍ
مُوحَّدَ الرأيِ لا نِكسٌ ولا بَرَمُ
Entrust the affairs of God’s servants to a trustworthy man—
firm and undivided in judgment, neither weak nor easily vexed.
واتركْ مقالَةَ أقوامٍ ذَوي خَطَلٍ
لا يفهمون إذا ما مَعشرٌ فهموا
And shun the counsel of men possessed by folly,
who fail to understand when others understand.
Sol 5.6
