Check out http://tantalos.perseus.tufts.edu/~dasmith/arabic/

This is "An Advanced Learner's Arabic-English Dictionary" by H. Anthony 
Salmone.  It is a good-sized 19th century dictionary.  Unfortunately it 
uses a specialized code to indicate noun and verb forms, and the 
encoders didn't include the code.  You need to find a copy somewhere. 
If you have access to a good research library you have a good chance of 
finding it there; otherwise google a bit.  I found: 
http://www.ibcbooks.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/cgi-local/smpagegen.exe?U+scstore+tyls3162ffb675b6+-p+-c+scstore.cfg+LDL0899

If you get a copy and can scan the key to the code, please post it 
somewhere and let us know.
