From Ibn al-Qayyim’s words—may Allah have mercy on him—it becomes clear that the aforementioned distinction is unanimously null and void, for it clashes with the practice of the Salaf and is contradicted by the preceding proofs. It is also invalid from another angle: those who draw this distinction imagine that knowledge need not be joined to action, nor action to knowledge. This is a very important point that helps the believer understand the matter correctly and be certain of the falsehood of that distinction.
