The science of Arabic writing depends on grammatical, morphological, phonetic, and perhaps linguistic reasons. Those who wrote in this science relied in extracting its rules on the texts of earlier Arabic scholars, especially Sibawayh. Therefore, this research came as an attempt to find out those texts in the book of Sibawayh, and to try to extract whether there are references that can be used
in the studies of the science of Arabic writing. The research collected texts that are close to the book and bear the reasons that were focused on by the Arabic scholars who wrote in this science. Although it does not contain the terminology of the science of Arabic writing, it is worth mentioning here that all those who wrote and composed said that writing is dependent on speech. Also, the research has yielded quite a few references from Sibawayh’s book, and perhaps these signs were clear and close to interpretation, and perhaps they were distant, but from all these texts and references it was possible to build research topics.
This research, according to the researcher, is an unprecedented step in the field of Arabic writing science. It may draw the attention of researchers and lead them to reconsider the texts of the predecessors in the light of this science.
