Lisan al-Arab

لسان العرب

The largest and most comprehensive classical Arabic dictionary, containing over 80,000 entries. Ibn Manzur compiled this monumental work from five earlier dictionaries, organizing entries by root letters and providing Quranic verses, hadith, poetry, and prose examples for each word. It remains the primary reference for classical Arabic lexicography and is indispensable for scholars of tafsir, hadith, and Arabic literature.
