as for the first which is a rational indication whoever follows the dictates of reason and believes it then in his belief in it he is disbelieving it and he is unaware of it because there is no theoretical issue that he believes in his rational view except that he has an opponent in it who believes in the view of reason its opposite. so if reason is a truthful judge then your opponents reason is also truthful. so if you say my opponent is not truthful then your statement is contradictory if you believe in reason and disbelieve in its like. so if you say my opponent is truthful then your opponent says you are a liar and a falsifier. and if you claim that my opponent has no reason and that reason is mine then this is also your opponents claim. so how do you distinguish yourself from him by the length of the beard or by the whiteness of the face or by the abundance of coughing or by the sharpness of… supplication and at this point they unleash the tongue of mockery and contempt believing that with their words they have the white hand that has no answer.
أما الأول وهي دلالة عقلية ان من يتبع موجب العقل ويصدقه ففي تصديقه تكذيبه وهو غافل عنه لانه ما من مسئلة نظرية يعتقدها بنظره العقلي الا وله فيها خصم اعتقد بنظر العقل نقيضها فإن كان العقل حاكما صادقا فقد صدق عقل خصمك ايضا فإن قلت لم يصدق خصمي فقد تناقض كلامك إذا صدقت عقلا وكذبت مثله فان قلت صدق خصمي فخصمك يقول انت كاذب مبطل وان زعمت انه لا عقل لخصمي وانما العقل لي فهذه ايضا دعوى خصمك فبماذا تتميز عنه أبطول اللحية ام ببياض الوجه ام بكثرة السعل او الحدة في الدعاء وعند هذا يطلقون لسان الاستهزاء والإستخفاف معتقدين ان لهم بكلامهم اليد البيضاء التي لا جواب عنها
