The importance of the subject comes from the fact that ibn Khalawayh’s book represents an important episode of authorship in directing readings, and it is one of the fruits of the ibn Mujahid school that produced ibn Khalawayh and Abi Ali al-Farsi. Since ibn Khalawayh’s book contains grammatical, morphological and linguistic directives. He resolved to study what is specific to him in the views of his sheikh ibn Mujahid, taking into account what the scholars said in these readings, and the directions they gave them, in order to find out ibn Khalawayh’s views on such criticism. The study made use of the descriptive inductive method, and it was based on an introduction depicting ibn Mujahid in brief and explained the foundations upon which he based his choice of readings. The study depicted ibn Khalawayh in a nutshell, then it presented the readings that were criticized by ibn Mujahid, and ibn Khalawayh commented on them according to their arrangement in his book "The expression of the readings".
