«وَالْعَطَاءُ يُنْجِي، وَالْمَطَالُ يُشْجِي»
Giving brings relief; repeated postponement causes sorrow.
ʿAṭāʾ is a gift or grant, while maṭāl is stalling or deferring what is due. Yunjī expresses rescue; yushjī expresses grieving. The paired clauses share a balanced nominal-plus-verbal structure.
The argument is practical: a delayed favor may fail to relieve the recipient’s present distress. The petitioner uses balanced prose to prompt timely, not merely promised, assistance.
