Ru-beh says, " فَقُلْ لِذَاكَ المُزْعَجِ المَحْنُوشِ أَصْبِحٌ فَمَا مِنْ بَشَرٍ مَأْرُوشِ " Then say thou to that man who is disquieted by envy, and as though he were stung, Act thou gently, for [there is no scarf-skin scratched; meaning,] my honour is uninjured, having in it no defect nor scratch. (L, * TA.)
