«اِلْكَلْبْ مَا يْعُضِّشْ فِي وِدْنَ اخُوهْ»

The image is of one dog declining to bite another dog's ear, presented as a brother. Through it, the saying expresses the idea that beings sharing the same kind do not turn their teeth on one another.

Carried over to people, the picture suggests that a person will hold back from injuring someone of their own kind, treating that shared nature as a reason for restraint.

Suitable when remarking that someone refrained from hurting another person of the same kind as themselves, or when explaining why one person was spared by someone who shares their kind.
