What is the story of the Arabic proverb that says: He brought you his feet? | heritage

The origin of the proverb goes back to Al-Harith bin Jablah Al-Ghassani, who said it to Al-Harith Al-Abdi, and he had satirized it. After Al-Harith Al-Ghasani invaded Al-Mundhir bin Maa Al-Samaa, and Al-Abdi was with him.

After Al-Mundhir was killed and his crowd dispersed, Al-Abdi was captured and brought to Al-Harith Al-Ghassani. He said to him, “I brought you the wounds of his feet.” Then he ordered him to be hit with a blow that severely damaged his shoulders, from which he recovered after that.

It was said that the first person to say the Arabic proverb, “He brought you with his bare feet,” was Ubaid bin Al-Abras when he went to Al-Numan bin Al-Mundhir to praise him, and it was on his day of misery. When he finished, Al-Nu’man said to him, “What brought you, O Ubaid?” He replied: “I brought you his feet.”

Al-Numan said to Ubaid: Could this be someone other than you, and he replied: Calamities on the edges, so his words became like a proverb. The meaning is that the afflictions are led to their companions on the roads, that is, no one is able to escape from what is destined for him.
