«إِنْ عَاشِ الْعُودْ اِلْجِسْمِ يْعُودْ»
If a person survives, their body will recover its strength.
The saying offers reassurance during illness or severe wasting: if a person survives, bodily strength and fullness may return after recovery.
«تِبَاتْ نَارْ تِصْبَحْ رَمَادْ، لَهَا رَب يدَبِّرْهَا»
Even a blazing disaster can be ashes by morning; God is guiding what happens.
The saying consoles someone facing a crisis that appears overwhelming. Trouble can flare up with the force of a fire, yet its intensity may fade sooner than expected, so despair is not the only possible response.
«طَاطِي لْهَا تْفُوتْ»
Duck down before it, and it will go right past you.
The saying advises meeting an unnamed misfortune or hostile moment, with the 'it' left implied, by lowering oneself and letting it sweep past rather than standing upright against it. The image is of someone ducking so that a blow or gust goes overhead, leaving them unharmed once it is gone.
«يَا يْمُوتِ الْعَبْدْ يَا يِعْتَقُهْ سِيدُهْ»
Sooner or later the slave goes free: either death takes him or his master releases him.
The saying holds that a hardship cannot last forever: a bound servant will eventually be released, either through his owner granting freedom or through his own death. Since either outcome ends the bondage, the sufferer is counselled to endure patiently rather than despair.
