Help Your Neighbor

If your neighbor shaves (someone's head), soak the head of that person.
--- Arab Saying

Love your neighbor as yourself, the Christians say. The Arabs say indirectly & in a more concrete way. This proverb suggests that you should try to act by agreement with your neighbor.

自分自身を愛するように隣人を愛せよ、とキリスト教徒はいう。アラブ人たちは遠回しながらより具体的な言い方をする。このことわざは隣人に同意して振る舞うよう薦めている。
