الطَّاعِمُ الشَّاكِرُ كَالصَّائِمِ الصَّابِرِ
Translation: The grateful person who eats is like the patient person who fasts.
Source: رواه الترمذي
ArabicMeaning
الطَّاعِمُone who eats
الشَّاكِرُone who is grateful
كَالصَّائِمِlike the fasting person
الصَّابِرِone who is patient
The comparison is not simply between eating and fasting. It highlights two associated virtues: gratitude in the eater and patience in the faster. Removing الشَّاكِرُ and الصَّابِرِ from the translation would miss an essential part of the wording.
