The research dealt with the investigation of a scientific manuscript that included morphological material for irregular plurals by deleting the extra letter, specifically for those that exceed the triliteral, including those when pluralized by Ibn Hisham Al-Ansari. Despite its small size, and because its author, Ibn Hisham, gave it distinction and scientific value; Because of Al-Ansari's significant presence in the Arabic sciences, he is a distinguished scholar who authored numerous books, commentaries, and extensive works . The manuscript is considered one of the rare, unverified works by Ibn Hisham Al-Ansari, especially since it lacks a title or author's name on its first pages. It contains a number of inaccuracies in preservation and arrangement, which led to its details being lost and it was not verified. This is until I found it, read it, and arranged its panels according to the logic of contextual hierarchy. I then read it carefully and scrutinized it, and found phrases that unequivocally indicate that Its author is Ibn Hisham al-Ansari, and what confirms its attribution to him is that its style is sublime, and its language is powerful, and could only come from a great and generous scholar, the owner of a unique scientific treasure like Ibn Hisham. So, I sought to verify it, study it, and revive it after it had been on the shelves of libraries for nearly six centuries.
