Collection of Proverbs 1-5 Abu Dhabi Center for the Arabic Language Ahmed bin Muhammad Al-Maydani Nishapuri ISBN: 9789948807513 Number of pages: 325 Book categories: General knowledge Year of publication: 2022 Book series: Abu Dhabi Center for the Arabic Language Book sources: Abu Dhabi Center for the Arabic Language This investigation presents the book "Majma' al-Amthal" in a new appearance befitting it and its content, relying on copies of the manuscript that previous editions of the book no longer referenced, and it is an expanded investigation with reading, explanation, documentation, and correction, as well as many indexes to assist in reading the book. The fame and value of the book stem from its content and from the fame of its author, as Al-Maydani is one of the famous scholars, known for his extensive knowledge and intelligence. It is a book dedicated by its author to old Arabic proverbs, collecting what he reached of proverbs contained in previous books of proverbs, and adding to them what he had obtained of proverbs. Despite the many books of proverbs written in Arabic, Al-Maydani’s book surpasses them for several reasons; it is based on the works of predecessors, some of which have not reached us, and he added to them, arranged the proverbs in an easy order, explained and commented on them, indicating some linguistic, grammatical, and morphological aspects, and distinguished in one chapter between the eloquent, those in the form of (Afaal), and the newly formed. He added two chapters at the end of the book, the first of which mentions the names of Arab days in the pre-Islamic and Islamic eras, and defines them to help understand some proverbs, and the second mentions some sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and some sayings of the Companions and Tabi‘un. 5 parts
