قال أبو عمر‏:‏ أي في الباطل، وجرى فلانٌ السُّمَّهى، إذا جرى إلى أمرٍ لا يعرفه، وذهبَتْ إبلُه السُّمَّهَى، إذا تفرقت في كل وجه، والسُّمَّهَى‏:‏ الهواء بين السماء والأرض والسمهى والسميهي‏:‏ الكذبُ والباطل‏.‏

Mention the absent one, and he will draw near. اذْكُرْ غَائِباً يَقْتَرِبْ‏.‏

ءIt is also narrated, "Mention the absent one, and you will see him." Abu Ubaid said: This proverb is narrated from Abdullah ibn al-Zubayr, who mentioned al-Mukhtar one day and inquired about him. Al-Mukhtar was in Mecca at that time, before he came to Iraq. While he was mentioning him, al-Mukhtar appeared, and Ibn al-Zubayr said: Mention the absent one.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Arabic proverb “Mention an absent person and they will appear” or “Mention an absent person and you will see them” is used when someone who is absent is mentioned and then, to everyone’s surprise, they suddenly appear.
he most common English equivalent is:
“Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.”
This is a very common proverb, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that the person mentioned is bad; it’s simply used to express the surprise of their sudden appearance while being spoken of.
A modern, shorter version is:
Speak of the devil!”
If we mention the person, they appear!”
There is also a gentler, less harsh expression:
“Talk of someone and they appear.”

ويروى ‏"‏اذْكُرْ غائبا تَرَه‏"‏ قال أبو عبيد‏:‏ هذا المثل يروى عن عبد اللّه بن الزبير أنه ذكر المُخْتَار يوما وسأل عنه، والمختار يومئذ بمكة قبل أن يَقْدَمَ العراق، فبينا هو في ذكره إذ طَلَع المختار، فقال ابن الزبير‏:‏ اذْكُرْ غائبا

A humiliation I would not accept if I had a helper." اً‏.‏ذُلٌّ لَوْ أَجِدُ نَاصِراً‏.‏

l-Mufaddal said: The origin of this saying is that Al-Harith ibn Abi Shamir Al-Ghassani asked Anas ibn Abi Al-Hujayr about something, and Anas told him. Al-Harith then slapped him, and Anas became angry and said, "A humiliation I would not accept if I had a helper." Then Al-Harith slapped him again, and Anas said, "If I had stopped the first time, the second would have stopped too." His two words became proverbs, and the meaning of the proverb ais: "This is a humiliation I would not accept if I had a helper."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This proverb is used to describe someone who endures humiliation or injustice out of necessity, not out of contentment, because they have no one to help or support them. A similar English equivalent is:

Necessity knows no law.”
eaning: Necessity forces a person to do what they don't want.
“I suffer it because I have no choice.”
Meaning: I endure it because I have no choice.
“If I had someone to stand by me, I would not endure this.”
Meaning: If I had someone to support me, I wouldn't accept this humiliation.
“A powerless man must swallow many insults.”
Meaning: A powerless person is forced to swallow many insults.
“Might makes right.”
eaning: Might makes right.
This is close in meaning, though not in wording.
However, the closest expression that captures the spirit of the Arabic proverb is:
“I endure this only because I have no one to help me.”
“I ndure this only because I have no one to support me.” The second part of the story (if you end the first, the second will end) is paralleled by the famous English proverb:
“Give him an inch and he'll take a mile.”
If you give him an inch, he'll take a mile.”
Meaning, remaining silent about the first transgression encourages its repetition and escalation.
