39) The Right of the Adversary against whom you have a claim

[Ameer ALwali]

39) The Right of the Adversary against whom you have a claim

The right of the adversary against whom you have a claim is that, if your claim against him is true, you maintain polite moderation in speaking to him and you do not deny his right. If your claim is false, you fear God, repent to Him, and abandon your claim.

حق الخصم تدعى عليه

وحق خصمك الذي تدعي عليه إن كنت محقا في دعواك أجملت مقاولته، و لم تجحد حقه وإن كنت مبطلا في دعواك اتقيت الله عزوجل وتبت إليه وتركت الدعوى.

[الرحى]

The one who takes death into consideration values his time.


مَنْ راقَبَ أجَلَهُ إغْتَنَمَ مَهَلَهُ.
. One whose death draws near to him cannot be saved [from it] by his efforts.


مَنْ دَنى مِنْهُ أجَلُهُ لَمْ تُعِنْهُ (لم تُغْنِهِ) حِيَلُهُ.
