Translation

This is the book “Majmal al-Lughah” by Ibn Faris, which is a linguistic book that is considered one of the most important sources in Arabic linguistics. The book is concerned with collecting and analyzing Arabic words, and includes a content index that shows the organization of the book around Arabic letters. The book begins with the author introducing the importance of the Arabic language and the necessity of collecting words in one book that makes it easier for the reader to access the meanings. The excerpt presented from the book shows that the author relied on the book “Al-Ain” by Khalil bin Ahmed and the book “Al-Jumhara” by Abu Bakr bin Duraid, but he sought brevity in speech and easy access to meanings. This book is an important source for Arabic linguistic studies.
