LessonsṬarafah: Camel’s Pace, Courage, and Social Life (Verses 38–46)Quiz

وَلَسْتُ بِحَلَّالِ التِّلَاعِ مَخَافَةً
وَلَكِنْ مَتَى يَسْتَرْفِدِ الْقَوْمُ أَرْفِدِ
Meaning: I am not one who lurks in valleys and low places out of fear; whenever people ask me for help, I provide it.

Ḥallāl al-tilāʿ describes habitual settling in the folds and ravines of the land. Makhāfatan makes fearful withdrawal the point denied. The second half contrasts requesting assistance, yastarfid, with giving it, arfid. Matā presents that response as a general habit, not merely a single incident.
