کان کتاب فضل الشبان ضمن الآثار المفقودة لأبى بکر الصولى - رحمه الله – وشاء الله أن يکون إحياؤه على يدي، وقد أفرده مؤلفه لإظهار فضل الشُّبَّان على کثير من ذوى الأَسْنَان، والکتاب حافل بما يبعث فى النفوس الأمل ، ومادته تستنهض العزائم الصادقة على العمل ، بالإضافة إلى اشتماله على مادة أدبية ولغوية تکشف عن بعض ملامح الفکر اللغوى لدى صاحبه ، وقد أفردت لها حديثا ، وقد وفقنى الله إلى نسبة الکتاب إلى صاحبه ، وتحرير النصوص التى ظنها بعض المحققين منقولة من الکتاب وليست منه ، کما صححت عنوانه عند من أخطأه ، أو خلطه بغيره من مؤلفات الصولى ، وهو فى ذلک معذور لأنه لم يقف على هذا الأثر ، وظنه ضمن ما اندثر . وأسأل الله تعالى أن يجعل جهدى فى هذا الکتاب من الصالحات الباقيات، وأن ينفع به ويکتب له القبول . The Book of the Virtues of the Young was among the lost monuments of Abi Bakr al-Suli May God have mercy on him God willing be revived on my hands, His author has singled out him to show the virtue of the young to many of the old The book in our hands is full of hope, Its meaning motivates honest men to work hard In addition to the inclusion of literary and linguistic material reveal some of the features of linguistic thought in the author , has been singled out recently, God has guided me to the ratio of the book to its author, and the editing of the texts that some investigators thought were transferred from the book and not from it As corrected the title of the book when mistake, or mix it with other writings Abi Bakr al-Suli, which is excused because he did not stand on this impact, and his mind within what has disappeared. I ask God to make my best in this book of the remaining good, and to benefit him and write him acceptance.
