«إِيدْ فَرَّغِتْ فِي اخْتَهَا»

The saying consoles someone over a possession that has passed to a close associate. Because it remains with someone connected to the owner, its departure is treated as a transfer rather than a true loss.

Its image compares the change to moving something from the right hand to the left. It suggests that regret is unnecessary when the recipient is close, not that every loss or transfer is unimportant.

Use it when an item, benefit, or resource moves to a trusted companion or someone within the same close circle. It frames the change as an internal handover and discourages lamenting it, provided that closeness makes the transfer feel secure.
