✧ Alif with Mim
"المسائل كَدُوحٌ يَكدَحُ بها الرجلُ وجْهَهُ، فمن شاءَ أبقى على وجْهِهِ، ومن شاءَ تركَ إِلا أَن يسألَ الرَّجلُ ذا سلطان أَو في أَمرٍ لا يجدُ منه بُدًا".

"Asking is a scratching by which a man scratches his face. Whoever wishes leaves his face intact, and whoever wishes abandons it, except that a man asks one in authority or in a matter he has no alternative to."
