The close connection between Persian and Arabic language and literature has led to numerous exchanges between the two languages. Among them is the translation of Saad al-Din Varavini's book "Marzbannameh" by Ibn Arabshah in the ninth century. Ibn Arabshah has taken an adaptive and free approach in his translation and tried to disguise his translation by creating a metamorphosis and recreating the original text. The present study is based on the model of Vinay and Darbelnet and aims to evaluate the quality of Ibn Arabshah's translation and explain his use of the components of adapted translation. Due to the wide volume of the book, its fifth chapter was examined as a body of research. The result of the research showed that "Fakheh al-Khalifa" is an adapted translation of Marzbannameh and the translator has made the translation language normal by substituting simple expressions instead of complex structures, increasing and decreasing the meaning of words, and using equivalents in the target language. In adapting his translation to the model of Vinay and Darbelnet, it was also found that the translator has presented another metamorphosis of the precious work of "Marzbannameh" through indirect translation and using the techniques of transposition, modulation, equivalence, and adaptation. He brought the target text closer to the horizon of the Arabic-speaking reader in a way that, in addition to providing a readable context, enabled the Arabic-speaking reader to communicate well with the text.

Analysis and investigation of translation quality have long been taken into consideration. Various methods have been proposed by theorists and linguists to critique the translation of texts from Arabic into Persian and vice versa. One of the methods presented in the field of translation criticism is Vinay and Darbelnet’s model. This article raises two questions: How is the translation of Adel Abdel Moneim Suleim evaluated based on the Vinay and Darbelnet model, and which of the components of Vinay and Darbelnet is most used in the translation? In this research, using a descriptive-analytical method, a part of Adel Abdel Moneim Suleim's Arabic translation of Jalal Al-Ahmad's School Principal novel is examined based on the Vinay and Darbelnet model, and the quality and method of interpretation of this novel are evaluated by the translator. The result shows that the translator paid more attention to the elements of the target language in translating the selected samples. Also, in some cases, the translator ignores the transmission of the message and content of the original language to the target language and relies on direct and lexical translation, which may be due to the translator's insufficient knowledge of some cultural components and the basic foundations of the source language.
