٣٦٦. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام): الْعِلْمُ مَقْرُونٌ بِالْعَمَلِ فَمَنْ عَلِمَ عَمِلَ، وَالْعِلْمُ يَهْتِفُ بِالْعَمَلِ فَإِنْ أَجَابَهُ وَإِلَّا ارْتَحَلَ عَنْهُ.

366. Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him, said: Knowledge is associated with action. Therefore, he who knows should act, because knowledge calls for action; if there is a response well and good, otherwise it (i.e., knowledge) departs from him.

366. Savoir et faire sont en connexion: Celui qui sait agit. De plus, la science appelle l’action; si celle-ci ne réplique pas, la science s’en va.
