The answer

The statement of a person, "Say, by your life" (قل لعمرك), is permissible if it means "Say to yourself" (قل لنفسك). Expressing an action through speech (القول) is permissible and has been narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. As for the word "talqi" (تلقي), it is permissible if its meaning is "you equalize" (تسوي), as there is no harm in colloquial expressions that convey the intended meaning and do not offend anyone.
