«صَاحِبْ وِمَالْ مَا يِتِّفِقْشْ»

The saying holds that real companionship and an eye on someone's money cannot sit together. Once you choose a person as a friend or companion, you should stop calculating what their wealth might bring you, because friendship belongs to a different order than profit.

It also carries a warning: a bond kept alive by the hope of material gain is not true friendship but a transaction in disguise. Whoever weighs a companion by their purse has already traded loyalty for interest.

Fits moments when someone seems to court a person for their wealth, or when a companion expects material gain from the relationship. It works as a gentle rebuke that affection should not be measured in benefits, not as a rule against lending or doing business with friends.
