as for being keen on what is forbidden and not beneficial and being amazed at what is amazed by its like this is not from the morals of the wise. and what is not in their morals is not considered or compared to it. rather this is the action of one who is estranged from the argument and has strayed from the knowledge of causes and reasons.
وأما الحرص على الممنوع الذي لا ينتفع به، والعجب مما يتعجب من مثله، فليس من أخلاق العقلاء. وما لم يكن في أخلاقهم فلا نظر فيه ولا قياس عليه، وإنما ذلك فعل من استوحش من الحجة، وشرد عن علم العلل والأسباب.
