AL-SHAFIA: THE HEALING BOOK FOR THE SCIENCE OF THE ARABIC LANGUAGE BY ABI AMR UTHMAN BIN UMAR AL-HAJIB (744 AH)

A copy of Al-Shafia, the seminal grammatical treatise by the great linguist Abu ‘Amr ‘Uthman bin ‘Umar al-Hajib, composed in the 7th century Hijri and widely regarded as one of the foundational texts in Arabic linguistic theory.


Written in clear black naskh script with rubrication in red, the text opens with a dedication to the science of sarf (morphology) and proceeds through detailed theoretical discussion, combining grammatical rules with logical structure. The layout is carefully ruled, and the manuscript includes poetic flourishes and classical didactic features that were used to aid memorisation and scholarly transmission. The manuscript is bound in a marbled-paper cover in shades of green, brown, and yellow, with a leather spine.
