Phonetic:
"Kab'de'hu
ve'chash'de'hu."
Translation:
Honor and suspect him.
Meanings:
- When
meeting a stranger you may project your suspicions and hurt the other
person, especially if his meanings and intentions are found to be
pure later.
- However,
due to past experience it is impossible to ignore the fact that not
everyone can be trusted. Therefore it is advisable to respect an unknown
person but to remain alert and to take in consideration that the person
involved could have an intention, which may not be pure.
- This
quality - combining effectively honoring someone while looking deep
into his self and meanings will enable us not to offend the other
person while remaining alert and protecting ourselves if needed.
-
In addition one should bear in mind that "good" is often
accompanied by "bad". Therefore, honor the "good"
that comes into your life but suspect there could be "bad"
attached to it!
