چکیده:
One of the most authoritative sources of Persian folk literature, Dehkhoda's Book of Proverbs and Wisdom, with more than thirty thousand proverbs, wisdoms, idioms, metaphors, news, and traditions, is the result of his continuous studies and research and speaks to his perseverance, memory power, talent, and presence of mind. Referring to this book amazes every reader, especially since it was compiled at a time when computer facilities and virtual research methods and search engines did not exist. However, to serve the author of this weighty book, it is worth striving to rectify its shortcomings. Among these shortcomings are the thematic mixing of proverb entries, providing Arabic proverbs without reference or source, and the lack of correspondence between Persian proverbs and their Arabic equivalents. In this article, we aim to address a portion of this matter by scrutinizing and critiquing some Persian proverbs and their Arabic equivalents. Additionally, the Arabic proverbs included in the article have been documented. The main reason that caused Dehkhoda to err in choosing equivalents is that in many cases, Dehkhoda only considered the subject of the proverbs and neglected their usage. There are other reasons as well, including: - He only considered a part of the proverb's story; - He made mistakes in identifying the subject of the proverbs; - He only considered a part or a word of the proverb.

6. The reference books for Arabic proverbs and their abbreviations, which have been arranged in alphabetical order to make them easier to find, are as follows: (أغا) Al-Aghani / Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani (بیان) Al-Bayan wa al-Tabyin / Al-Jahiz (تمث) Al-Tamthil wa al-Muhadara / Abu Mansur al-Tha'alibi (جم) Jamharat al-Amthal / Abu Hilal al-Askari (ذکر) Al-Tadhkira al-Hamduniyya / Abu Hamdun (زهر) Zahr al-Akam fi al-Amthal wa al-Hikam / Al-Usyusi (طبق) Tabaqat al-Awliya / Ibn al-Mulaqqin (عب) Al-Amthal / Abu Ubayd ibn Sallam (عجز) Al-I'jaz wa al-Ijaz / Abu Mansur al-Tha'alibi (عقد) Al-Iqd al-Farid / Ibn Abd Rabbih al-Andalusi (کشک) Al-Kashkul / Baha al-Din al-Amili (مثل) Al-Amthal / Al-Dabbi (مج) Majma' al-Amthal / Al-Maydani (مس) Al-Mustaqsi fi Amthal al-Arab / Al-Zamakhshari (مع) Mu'jam al-Amthal al-Arabiyya / Mahmoud Ismail Sini (نها) Nihayat al-Arab fi Funun al-Adab / Shihab al-Din al-Nuwayri Given the explanations provided above, the proverbs considered in this article can be divided into three categories: A) Proverbs for which Dehkhoda has erred in finding equivalents, and they do not match the Arabic proverb either in terms of subject or application; B) Proverbs that, with a little care, we realize may share commonality in subject; but in application, they do not have a match; do not have, and if two similar incidents occur in Arabic and Persian, they cannot be applied to each other; C) Proverbs that have been correctly equated, but are open to criticism when compared with similar proverbs in another entry.
