Mohammad Khaqani Isfahani, in his book, has used this statistical stylistic function to study the Arabic language and extract high-frequency linguistic forms for use in educational programs. This article, while introducing and examining the form and content of this book, acknowledges that there is no need for the statistical study of Arabic language in the first place. Because of some reasons, classical Arabic has remained unchanged throughout history. On the other hand, using shortcut solutions such as “trust in experience and reading text”, “paying attention to the semantic functions of linguistic forms”, “browsing syntactic books such as Jammu al-Darrow and Qatari al-Wadi al-Sadi's description” and “Referrals that collect syntactic evidence” can be extracted from high-frequency linguistic forms, and necessarily, as the respected author asserts, using the statistical method of time stylization is not the only solution.

The book “Fi al-nass al-adabi: Dirasah uslubiyah ihsaiyah” written by Dr Saad Moslouh and published in 1993, is one of the foremost and significant works in the area of Arabic studies, dealing with statistical stylistics. In the current study, the book was analyzed in terms of form and content. The focus of formal analysis revolved around cover artwork, typography, page layout, and typing errors. The content analysis, on the other hand, incorporated eloquence of expressions, order of the issues, resources, referencing, innovations and analyses and reviews of them. The results of the analyses indicated that since this work has been published almost 20 years ago, it has several deficits in terms of formal features particularly typography and referencing. It should be noted that, in terms of content, despite the novelty of the concepts in the area of Arabic studies, the underlying theoretical issues of the book are mainly adapted from western experts. Thus, it should be considered that the main innovation of the book is adapting the Western concepts and implementation of the related models and patterns in Arabic texts and literature.
