«شَاوِرْ كِبِيرَكْ وِصغِيرَكْ وِارْجَعْ لِعَقْلَكْ»

The saying recommends seeking counsel widely, without limiting it to elders or people of standing. 'Big' and 'small' may contrast age, rank, or experience, so a younger or more junior person may notice something useful, and their view deserves a hearing alongside that of the senior and seasoned.

The closing clause does not dismiss the advice gathered; it assigns the final weighing to the listener once everyone has been heard. Rather than simply obeying the loudest or most respected voice, each suggestion is sifted through personal judgment, keeping what is sound and discarding what is weak.

Suitable when someone faces a choice and is tempted to ask only senior figures, or to follow whatever they are told. It encourages hearing every voice, including junior ones, while reminding the person that the decision and its responsibility remain theirs.
