«اِلْكُتْرَهْ تِغْلِبِ الشَّجَاعَهْ»

The saying holds that a larger group, meaning sheer weight of numbers in people, tends to defeat individual courage. However bold or skilled a single fighter may be, a large enough crowd of ordinary opponents will eventually wear that person down and prevail.

More broadly, it observes a practical limit on personal valor rather than passing judgment on bravery itself. It can excuse someone who lost against many, warn against confronting a group alone, or argue that strength in numbers matters more than heroics.

Fitting when a capable individual or small team is overwhelmed by a larger opposing group, whether in a quarrel, a contest, or a dispute. It can console the defeated party or caution someone about to face many opponents alone.
