The present research investigates the linguistic roots in (Al-MuhīT fi Al-Lugha) by Salih bin A’bad (385A.H.). The origins are statistically analysed and studied. The statistical analysis of (Al-MuhīT fi Al-Lugha) depended on accurate deduction, then a descriptive analytical study was conducted and compared between the linguistic origins of Al-MuhīT and six other Arabic dictionaries namely: “Kitab Al-Ain” by Al-Khalil bin Ahmed Al-Faraheedi (157A.H.), “Jamharat Al-Lugha” by Ibn Duraid (321A.H.), “Tahtheeb Al-Lugha” by Al-Azhari (370A.H.), “Al-Sihah” by Al-Jawahiri (400A.H.), “Asas Al-Balagha” by Al-Zamakhshari (538A.H.) , and “Lisan Al-Arab” by Ibn Manzoor (711A.H.). After comparison, the study concluded that these dictionaries differed from each other in the method of presentation, explanation, the size and type of material of each dictionary. In addition to the similarities between them, the differences are related to the aim and purpose of writing the dictionary while the similarities are due to the similarities of the references. We hope that we were successful in doing this work.
