Hi everyone,
Does this mean something like 'make sympathetic sounds'? Or 'say a prayer' in my heart? Or say 'it will be okay?'
The context is a man's wife is fighting with his mother. He is the one speaking here.
وأسمع من أمّي مدى انزعاجها من فاطمة كذلك
أصمت أو أقول "كلمة خير" وأخزّن كل ذلك في قلبي.
Thanks!
