«اِلْإِسْمِ لطُوبَةْ وِالْفِعْل لأَمْشِيرْ»

The saying describes a mismatch between who is associated with something and who actually does it. A familiar name may draw attention even when the work belongs to someone else.

Tuba receives the name in the proverb, while Amshir is assigned the action. By separating those roles, the saying points to a reputation that rests on another’s contribution.

Use it when one person is publicly associated with an accomplishment but another has done the work. It can draw attention to the difference between the name attached to a result and the effort behind it.
