«إِذَا صَدَقَ الْجَدُّ افْتَرَى الْعَمُّ لِلْفَتَى مَكَارِمَ لَا تَخْفَى وَإِنْ كَذَبَ الْخَالُ»
When good fortune favors a young man, people may ascribe evident virtues to him despite contrary opinion.
The words jadd, ʿamm, and khal convey fortune, people in general, and supposition respectively; they also evoke the familiar kinship set of grandfather, paternal uncle, and maternal uncle.
The shared family field creates a second layer of fittingness. The semantic grouping illustrates muraʿat al-nazir, rather than opposition such as tibaq.
