The debate between the Learned and the Ignorant

Whoever argues with someone more knowledgeable than themselves, to appear learned, will be revealed as ignorant.

When someone appears in a gathering who is less eloquent and less knowledgeable than you,

even if you are more knowledgeable, do not contradict what they say.

We can add

*Whoever argues with someone more knowledgeable than themselves, to expose the ignorance of that scholar, will reveal their own ignorance.

*Opinions can certainly be discussed, but calmly, and in a research-oriented manner that focuses on the ideas themselves, not on directly attacking the scholar or the speaker.

Arabic Translation

مَن يَناقش مَن هو أعلم مِنهُ، ليظهر أنه عالِم، سيُعرف أنه جاهل

عندما يظهر شخصاً في مجلسٍ هو أقل كلاما وأقل علماً منكَ
وإن كُنتَ أفضل مَعرفة منهُ، فلا تَعترض على ما يقول

يمكن اضافة

مَن يَناقش مَن هو أعلم مِنهُ، ليُظهر للناسِ جَهل هذا العالِم، سيُفضح نفسه، بأنه جاهل

يمكن مناقشة الأراء بالطبع، ولكن بهدوء، وبأسلوب بحثي يعتمد على الافكار وليس مهاجمة العالم او الشخص المتحدث بشكل مباشر

Persian text

هر که با داناتر از خود بحث کند تا بدانند که داناست، بدانند که نادان است

چون در آید مِه از تویی به سخن
گرچه بِه دانی، اعتراض مکن
