خلفية ثقافية
In Iranian bazaars, there is a strict hierarchy. You don't ask a carpet seller about spices. This proverb reinforces the 'Senf' (guild) system where expertise is localized. Similar to Iran, Dari speakers use this proverb to emphasize meritocracy, especially in community leadership and local disputes. Tajik Persian preserves many classical forms. This proverb is used in educational settings to encourage students to specialize in one craft rather than being a 'jack of all trades.' The proverb is often cited in religious sermons to explain why 'Imamat' (leadership) or 'Fatwa' (legal ruling) must only come from those with deep knowledge.
Use it for DIY
