This isn't entirely true. Arabs simply translated the stories from "Hazar Afsan" which is Old Persian for Thousand stories.
It's a collection of Persian and Indian folktales from around 4 to 6th century CE. For example, Panchatantra stories were popular with both Persians and Arabs that they translated it in their languages.
After the conquest, the Arabs did change it to make it more spiritual and religious but the structure of the stories was more or less the same. Talking animals, reincarnating beings, warlocks, witches, seduction, betrayal these were the old core of the collection.
The Arab adaptations after Islamic conquests adds stuff like Praise be to Allah, In His name etc etc.
Stories like Sinbad and Aladdin were added by some French merchant in the 1700s after learning them from other merchants in Iraq and other places in the middle east
