الرَّاسِخَاتُ فِي الْوَحْلِ، الْمُطْعِمَاتُ فِي الْمَحْلِ، مَنْ بَاعَهَا فَإِنَّ ثَمَنَهَا بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّمَادِ عَلَى شَاهِقَةٍ هَبَّتْ لَهُ رِيحٌ فَقَذَفَتْهُ
✧ The firmly-rooted in mud, the feeders in times of famine. Whoever sells them, its price is like ashes on a high place, upon which a wind blew and scattered it.
