«ادِّينِي عُمْرْ وِارْمِينِي الْبَحْرْ»

The saying imagines someone surviving even after being thrown into the sea because their allotted lifetime has not ended. The danger is grave, but it cannot bring death before that time.

It presents an unlikely escape as a matter of having life still ahead, not as proof that the danger was slight. Survival is understood through the idea that a person's time to die has not yet come.

Use it when describing someone who survives a danger from which escape seemed unlikely. It frames the outcome in terms of time still left to live, rather than treating the danger as harmless.
