He sewed a bag for us خاطَ عَلَيْنَا كِيسَا.

خاطَ عَلَيْنَا كِيسَا.
He sewed a bag for us.
----------------------------------------------
«خاطَ علينا كيسًا» يُقال لمن احتال علينا وخدعنا بحيلةٍ ما، أو أوهمنا بشيء حتى استمالنا إليه؛ فـ«خاط الكيس» كناية عن إحكام الحيلة والتدبير.
ومن أقرب المقابلات الإنجليزية: He pulled the wool over our eyes.

He fooled us.
= «خدعنا.»
He pulled a fast one on us.
= «احتال علينا / قام علينا بحيلة.»
He outwitted us.
= «غلبنا بالحيلة والدهاء.»
وأفضل مقابل اصطلاحي:

وإذا كان المقصود الخداع بطريقة ذكية ومموهة، فـ:
He pulled the wool over our eyes.

"He pulled a fast one on us" is said of someone who tricked or deceived us with a trick, or misled us into believing something until they were won over. "He pulled a fast one on us" is a metaphor for a clever and elaborate scheme.

Take him by death until he is satisfied with fever. خُذْهُ بالمَوْتِ حَتَّى يَرْضَى بالحُمَّى.
