Default The saying "If Mohammed won't come to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohamme

Title is one letter too long for space allowed.

Can anyone find the origin of the saying - The saying "If Mohammed won't come to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed" ?

hi,

If Mohammed will not go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed. = something that you say which means that if someone will not come to you, you have to go to them.

eg.

They never visit me now they have a family. Well, if Mohammed won't go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed.

Check here: If the mountain won't come to Muhammad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
