«اِلصَّلَا أَخْيَرْ مِنِ النُّومْ، قَالْ: جَرَّبْنَا دَهْ وِجَرَّبْنَا دَهْ»

The saying sets a confident claim that one thing beats another against the flat reply of someone who has personally tried both. The reply never names a winner; it only implies that lived experience pointed the other way, and that hint should stay implicit rather than spelled out.

More broadly, it mocks preferences declared on principle or by authority when practice shows otherwise. The humour comes from answering a solemn, familiar formula with a casual report of personal trials, letting firsthand results outweigh received wisdom.

Use it as a dry comeback when someone confidently ranks one option above another and you, or the person described, have tried both and found the opposite. Because the opening quotes the dawn call to prayer, some may find it irreverent; keep it to relaxed, informal company.
