2 مَا بِفُلَانٍ مُتَمَرَّسٌ [Nothing can be done with, or got from, such a one]: said of him from whom the enemy can obtain no advantage: or of him who is hardy and strong, so that he who strives with him cannot withstand him, because he has striven against calamities and contentions: and of the avaricious man, from whom he who is in want cannot obtain anything.
