هُمْ فِى أَمْرِ لَا يُنَادَى وَلِيدُهُ (S, L, K *) [They are in a case, or an affair, wherein (lit. whereof) the boy, or servant-boy, or slave, will not be called out to]: a proverb, (L,) originally meaning, they are in a case of difficulty or distress, such that the mother forgets her child, and does not call out to him: and afterwards applied to any case of difficulty or distress: (M, L:) or they are in a formidable case, in which children are not called out to, but those advanced in age: (AO, or As, M, L:) and sometimes it means, they are in such a state of abundance and affluence that if a وليد put forth his hand to take a thing he is not chidden away from it: (M, L:) or it is applied to a case of good and to one of evil, and means, they are so occupied with their case or affair that if a وليد put forth his hand to the most valuable of things he is not called out to for the purpose of chiding him: (K:) some say, that its original reference is to the running of horses; because a fleet and excellent horse goes without being called out to; and that it is secondarily applied to any case of great moment, and to any case of abundance. (S, L.)

One also says, فِى الأَرْضِ عُشْبٌ لَا يُنَادَى وَلِيدُهُ [In the land is fresh herbage respecting which the servant-boy, or slave, will not be called out to]; because it matters not in what part of such land the beasts are; the whole abounding with herbage: and جَاوءُوا بِطَعَامٍ لَا يُنَادَى وَلِيدُهُ [They brought food respecting which the servant-boy, or slave, would not be called out to]; meaning, that one would not care what injury he might do to it, nor when he ate of it. (ISk, L.)

تَبَرَّأْتُ مَنْ شَتْمِ الرِّجَالِ بِتَوْبَةٍ

إِلَى اللّٰهِ مِنِّى لَا يُنَادَى وَلِيدُهَا
