«اِحْضَرْ أَرْدَبَّكْ يِزِيدْ»

The proverb urges a person to take a direct hand in matters that affect them. Personal attention is presented as a way to improve the outcome rather than leaving everything to others.

The growing measure is an image of a better return from looking after one’s interests. It does not suggest that the measuring unit itself changes size or that every effort is certain to succeed.

Use it to encourage someone to handle or oversee a matter personally when they are inclined to leave it entirely in another person’s hands. It favors active involvement without requiring the person to do every task alone.
