English translation of the principle

The court of merits has authority to ascertain the facts of the action and examine the evidence and documents submitted to it. - Legal rules depend, in their existence and absence, upon their operative reason. Where the text is general and unrestricted, there is no basis for particularizing or restricting it by reference to its underlying wisdom.
Arabic original
لمحكمة الموضوع السلطة في فهم الواقع في الدعوى وبحث الدلائل والمستندات المقدمة إليها. - الأحكام القانونية تدور مع علتها وجوداً وعدماً. متى كان النص عاماً مطلقاً. لا محل لتخصيصه أو تقييده باستهداء الحكمة منه.
