For this is not something a Muslim or a reasonable person would say.
عَاقِلٌ a reasonable person
An active participle — a noun built from a verb that names the doer of an action, here 'one who reasons'. It is the second possible sayer joined to the first, and shares its indefinite 'any such person' force, widening the denial to reasonable people generally.
فَالْعَاقِلُ مَنْ أَعْطَى كُلَّ لَحْظَةٍ حَقَّهَا مِنَ الْوَاجِبِ عَلَيْهِ،
The sensible person is the one who gives each moment its due among the duties incumbent upon him.
فَالْعَاقِلُ so the sensible person
The fa- prefix opens a conclusion drawn from the foregoing ('so'), and the al- marks the sensible person as a definite type. Together they launch the sentence's topic, a generalized figure whom a defining description, introduced by the relative word next, will pin down.
