LessonsLabīd ibn Rabīʿah: Hospitality, Justice, Trust and Tribal Leadership (Verses 70–88)Quiz

لَا يَطْبَعُونَ وَلَا يَبُورُ فِعَالُهُمْ إِذْ لَا يَمِيلُ مَعَ الْهَوَى أَحْلَامُهَا
They are not corrupted in character, nor do their deeds come to nothing, for their sound judgments do not bend with desire.

Yaṭbaʿūn here conveys moral corruption or defect; yabūru means to fail or become worthless; aḥlām is the plural denoting minds or reasoned judgments.

The verse supplies a reason for upright conduct: their judgement is not governed by impulse. It is a self-praising moral claim that goes beyond ancestry.
