«وَلَا تَأْتِ أَمْرًا إِذَا مَا اشْتَبَهْ»
Do not rush into a matter when it remains unclear.
Ishtabaha means to become ambiguous or doubtful. Lā taʾti is a prohibitive verbal form and amran its object. The line applies the preceding mirage image to decisions: a tempting opportunity requires examination.
The verse is not a command to avoid every undertaking. It cautions against acting while the essential consequences remain uncertain, especially in the particular decision about official appointment.
