It is a great wonder...... إنه لهتر أهتار

  The wonder: the marvel and the cunning. It is used to describe a cunning and deceitful man. Some say: In the language, wonder is called wonder. So the cunning man is named after it as if time created him and brought him out to people so that they would marvel at him. And wonder is falsehood, so if it is said that so-and-so is wonder, it means that because of his cunning he presents falsehood in the guise of truth, so he is never free from falsehood, so they made him falsehood itself, as in the saying of Al-Khansa: For it is only coming and going. And he added it to his kinds, indicating that he was distinguished from them by a characteristic that made him superior to them, and similar to it is the sound of the sound, and its origin is the snake that is in the sound, which is the dry land.

الهتر: العجب والداهية. يضرب، للرجل الداهي المنكر. قال بعضهم: الهتر، في اللغة، العجب. فسمي الرجل الداهي به كأن الدهر أبدعه وأبرزه للناس ليعجبوا منه، والهتر الباطل فإذا قيل فلان هتر أي من دهائه يعرض الباطل في معرض الحق فهو لا يخلو أبداً من باطل فجعلوه نفس الباطل كقول الخنساء: فإنما هي إقبال وإدبار وأضافه إلى أجناسه إشارة إلى أنه تميز منهم بخاصية يفضلهم بها ومثله، صل أصلال وأصله الحية تكون في الصلة وهي الأرض اليابسة.

 .That is, he is deceiving and tricking him until he gains power over him. It is like a man bringing the halter to a stubborn camel, concealing it so it won't resist, then removing a tick until the camel becomes tame and lowers its head. Then he throws the halter down on its neck. And concerning this, al-Hutay'ah says:
"By your life, the ticks of Banu Kulayb, when the tick is removed, are not easily removed."
That is, they cannot remove them.

أي يختال له ويخدعه حتى يستمكن منه واصله، أن يجيء الرجل بالخطام إلى البعير الصعب وقد ستره عنه لئلا يمتنع ثم ينتزع منه قراداً حتى يستأنس البعير ويدني إليه رأسه فيرمي بالخطام في عنقه وفيه يقول الحطيئة:

لعمرك ما قراد بني كليب

إذا نزع القراد بمستطاع

  

Sin is a wound in the heart.........الإثم حزاز القلوب

 Meaning, it is what wounds and itches it, as it was said, sin is what itches in your heart, even if people give you a fatwa about it and give you a fatwa. And the wound is what moves in the heart of grief, and from it is the saying of Ibn Sirin when he was asked: What is the most severe form of piety? He said: How easy it is if you doubt something, then leave it.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Let your conscience be your guide.

A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

If it troubles your conscience, don't do it.

If in doubt, leave it out.

The closest English interpretation of the proverb is:

Sin is what troubles the heart and disturbs the conscience.

يعني، ما حز فيها وحكها أي أثر كما قيل الإثم ما حك في قلبك وإن أفتاك الناس عنه وأفتوك؛ والحزاز، ما يتحرك في القلب من الغم، ومنه قول ابن سيرين حين قيل له: ما أشد الورع? فقال، ما أيسره إذا شككت في شيء، فدعه. 

O you who are grateful to yourself, let the gratitude be to you. ......أيها الممتن على نفسك فليكن المن عليك

If your kindness benefits yourself, don't boast of it to others.
