والمراد بالحكم نسبة أمر إلى أمر آخر إيجابا أو سلبا
Judgment means relating one thing to another by affirmation or denial.

Affirmation (ijab) asserts a predicate: “Zayd is standing” affirms standing of Zayd.

Denial (salb) rejects that predication: “Zayd is not standing” denies standing of Zayd.

Merely understanding Zayd and standing does not constitute a judgment. A judgment arises when the relation between them is affirmed or denied. This is decisive for distinguishing conception and assent.
