Musa ibn 'Uqba al-Asadī (Arabic: موسى بن عقبة; 675–758), commonly known as Mūsā ibn ʿUqba, was an early Arab historian and traditionalist, and was also an expert on maghāzī, the military expeditions in which the Prophet of Islam Muhammad personally participated.[1]
He composed a Kitāb al-maghāzī (Book on maghāzī) which is however cited by other historians after him, such as al-Wāqidī, Ṭabarī and Ibn Kathīr.[1]
