Sharing an idiom from Ustaz Shamsuri:
When the foolish one speaks, do not reply to him,
For better than a response (to him) is silence;
For better than a response (to him) is silence;
And if you speak to him you have aided him,
And if you left him (with no reply), in extreme sadness he dies!
And if you left him (with no reply), in extreme sadness he dies!
