«اِسْمَعْ مِنْ هِنَا وسَيِّبْ مِنْ هِنَا»

The saying pictures speech passing through a listener without being kept or given further thought. Hearing something does not mean it deserves continued attention.

It counsels a person not to dwell on talk that offers nothing useful. It can also encourage someone to leave a remark unanswered rather than turn it into an argument.

If someone must sit through unhelpful remarks, the saying can suggest listening without dwelling on them afterward. It can also be said to a person who is tempted to challenge a comment, urging them to let it pass instead.
