This article has a clear historical importance, as it is first and foremost part of the Arab heritage, and a glimpse of the Greco-Arab culture that dazzled people in the eras of the prosperity of Islamic civilization. It is also the first work written by Ibn Sina on rhetoric, as it forms a section of "The Book of Collections" or "The Prosodic Wisdom," which Ibn Sina wrote when he was twenty-one years old. Every research that is directed towards analyzing Ibn Sina''s opinions and studying his ideas and their development - which is a very important topic - cannot ignore such an article, which, despite its brevity, is considered a good introduction to the study of rhetoric as classified by Aristotle and as interpreted by Arab philosophers.
