ولا بد أن تكون المقدمات المستعملة فيها مقنعة للسامعين، مفيدة للواعظين.
The premises used should be persuasive to listeners and useful to those offering exhortation or guidance.

A sound rhetorical presentation therefore requires more than forceful delivery or emotion: its premises should be comprehensible, acceptable in context and appropriately connected to the conclusion.
