وَقَالَ (عليه السلام):
Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:
الْعِلْمُ مَقْرُونٌ بِالْعَمَلِ
Knowledge is associated with action.
فَمَنْ عَلِمَ عَمِلَ،
Therefore, he who knows should act,
وَالْعِلْمُ يَهْتِفُ بِالْعَمَلِ
because knowledge calls for action;
فَإِنْ أَجَابَهُ
if there is a response well and good,
وَإِلاَّ ارْتَحَلَ.
otherwise it (i.e., knowledge) departs from him.
