«اِللِّي يْطَاطِي لْهَا تْفُوتْ»

The saying advises yielding rather than meeting a dangerous event head-on. By figuratively lowering oneself, a person avoids becoming the target and lets an immediate threat pass.

It expresses tactical restraint, not approval of fear, surrender, or permanent submission. Its point is that resisting every confrontation may bring needless harm, while stepping back temporarily can protect someone from immediate danger.

Use it when advising someone not to provoke a hostile person, an escalating dispute, or a passing danger. It suits situations where brief retreat or restraint is presented as wiser than direct resistance, not as a rule against all resistance.
