Original Arabic • متنِ عربی

مَنْ لَمْ يَنْفَعْهُ لُبُّهُ، لَمْ يَنْفَعْهُ جَلِيسُهُ.

Urdu Translation • اردو ترجمہ

جسے اس کی اپنی عقل فائدہ نہ پہنچا سکے، اسے اس کا ہم نشین (دوست) بھی کوئی فائدہ نہیں پہنچا سکتا۔

English Translation • انگریزی ترجمہ

“Whoever is not benefited by his own intellect, will not be benefited by the company of others.”

Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ emphasizes the importance of **Internal Receptivity**. Advice, wisdom, and the company of the righteous are like rain; they are immensely beneficial, but they can only nourish a heart that is ready to grow. If a person does not use their own intellect ($Lubb$) to reflect and change, no external influence—no matter how great—can transform them. Change must begin from within.
