Uswah

Easy come, easy go.

يَمْحَقُ اللَّهُ الرِّبَا وَيُرْبِي الصَّدَقَاتِ

Allah wipes out riba and makes acts of charity grow.Translated by Uswah draft, awaiting review

Quran 2:276

The parallel

Wiped away and grown: money piled up through riba is worn down however large it looks, and what is given away is the part that increases. The leaving is a direction, not an accident.

How close it isThey agree on the observation and part company on the cause. The proverb shrugs at luck. The verse names a mechanism and asks for something: give, rather than wait for it to go.
