«نَارُهْ وَلَا جَنِّةْ غِيرُهْ»

The saying ranks one particular person, referred to as "him," above anyone else in the strongest possible terms. Whatever he gives, even something pictured as fire, is chosen over whatever another could give, even something pictured as paradise. The wording itself does not fix who the speaker is.

The extreme contrast does the work of emphasis. Fire and paradise stand figuratively for the worst and best outcomes, not for a literal religious claim. By setting the worst imaginable lot beside the best, the speaker shows that the choice rests on the person, not on what each side can supply.

Use it to state plainly that one person is preferred over another, stressing that this preference holds firm even when the other person appears to have far more to offer.
