people consider it unclean or the carcasses of wild animals vermin beasts and other animals and their waste and tastes fall into it. if we pour it out a lot and pour it on ourselves we cannot be sure that the last part is the dirtiest and most impure. therefore allah did not impose purification on his servants in this way since that is beyond their ability and capacity. this is one of the things that makes it hateful for someone who is disgusted by his delusion to live since he does not find anything from which he can feed himself and to which he turns that he can be sure that there is no filth in it. if these matters are as we have described then there is nothing left for the followers of the doctrine to use as evidence. how ugly it is for a rational person to persist in something for which he has no excuse no argument and no argument with him because that is a departure from reason and the pursuit of pure and unadulterated desire.
تقذير الناس لها أو وقوع جيف السباع والهوام والوحش وسائر الحيوان وأزبالها وأذواقها فيها. فإن نحن استكثرنا من إفاضته وصبه علينا لم نأمن أن يكون الجزء الأخير هو الأقذر والأنجس. ولذلك ما وضع الله على العباد التطهر على هذه السبيل إذ كان ذلك مما ليس في وسعهم وقدرتهم. وهذا مما يبغض على المتقذر بالوهم عيشه إذ كان لا يصيب شيئا يغتذي به وينقلب إليه يأمن أن يكون فيه قذر مستغرق. وإن كانت هذه الأمور كما وصفنا لم يبق لصحب المذهب شئ يحتج به. وما أقبح بالعاقل أن يقيم على ما لا عذر له فيه ولا حجة له فيه ولا حجة له عنده لأن ذلك مفارقة للعقل ومتابعة الهوى الخالص المحض.
