«اِللِّي يْقُولْ نَارْ يِنْحِرقْ بُقُّهْ»

The proverb warns that certain subjects are dangerous enough that merely bringing them up may cause harm. Its deliberately hyperbolic image is not a literal consequence, but advises restraint when speech could expose a person to trouble.

It also rebukes idle talk and reckless involvement in matters whose consequences are uncertain. Silence, or careful distance from the topic, is presented as safer than speaking without need.

Use it to caution someone against discussing a sensitive, risky, or potentially damaging matter, especially when gossip or speculation could draw them into unwanted consequences.
