 nothing prevents me from interpreting everything i have mentioned except my reliance on your knowledge. this book is of no use to anyone except those who have narrated poetry and speech and have followed the schools of thought of the people or have drawn from them beautifully.
وليس يمنعني من تفسير كل ما يمر الا اتكالي على معرفتك. وليس هذا الكتاب نفعه إلا لمن روى الشعر والكلام، وذهب مذاهب القوم، أو يكون قد شدا منه شدوا حسنا.
