the answer the action is related to the agent in terms of its occurrence not in terms of its previous nonexistence nor in terms of its being merely existing. for it is not related to it in the second state of occurrence according to us while it is existing. rather it is related to it in the state of its occurrence in terms of its being an occurrence and a departure from nonexistence into existence. if the meaning of occurrence is denied from it then it is not conceivable that it is an action nor is it related to the agent.
والجواب إن الفعل يتعلق بالفاعل من حيث حدوثه لا من حيث عدمه السابق ولا من حيث كونه موجودا فقط، فإنه لا يتعلق به في ثاني حال الحدوث عندنا وهو موجود، بل يتعلق به في حال حدوثه من حيث أنه حدوث وخروج من العدم إلى الوجود، فإن نفى منه معنى الحدوث لم يعقل كونه فعلا ولا تعلقه بالفاعل.
