الْقَوْلُ وَالْعَمَلُ وَهَذَا دَلِيلٌ أَثَرِيٌّ يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ يَعْلَمُ أَوَّلاً ثُمَّ يَعْمَلُ ثَانِياً،

Regarding speech and action, traditional evidence shows that a person must first possess knowledge before acting.

وَهُنَاكَ دَلِيلٌ عَقْلِيٌّ نَظَرِيٌّ يَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْعِلْمَ قَبْلَ الْقَوْلِ وَالْعَمَلِ

Rational and theoretical evidence also dictates that knowledge must precede both speech and action.

وَذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ الْقَوْلَ أَوِ الْعَمَلَ لَا يَكُونُ صَحِيحاً مَقْبُولاً حَتَّى يَكُونَ عَلَى وَفْقِ الشَّرِيعَةِ

This is because neither speech nor action can be valid or accepted unless it conforms to religious law.
