“One hand does not clap.”
What does Arabic proverb mean?
An Arabic proverb used wherever cooperation is the point. The corresponding image in the Sunnah is stronger and structural: the believers in their mutual love and mercy are like one body, and when one limb complains the whole body answers with fever and sleeplessness.
