Egypt's conquests and news

The Arabs used to celebrate dates, and when they knew notation, they wrote what they called the Arab Days. The Arabs paid great attention to the history of the conquest of Egypt, as it was an important event through which God glorified Islam, but many books were lost and only some of what they wrote remained, and the book "e;The Conquests of Egypt and Its News"e; is considered the oldest of those. The books that resisted annihilation and were saved from extinction. It is one of the sources of Egyptian history before and during the Islamic conquest. Due to the loss of all the books that preceded it, everyone who came after it was forced to rely on it. The Islamic Encyclopedia mentioned him by saying: "e;Advanced historians benefited greatly from Ibn Abd al-Hakam's book, and later writings relied on it as well. Most of Al-Suyuti's book Hasan Al-Muhadatha is taken from the book of Ibn Abd Al-Hakam, just as Al-Maqrizi took many of the chapters of his book from him. Yaqut also quoted most of what he wrote about describing Egypt verbatim from this book. The approach followed by Ibn Abd al-Hakam is the same approach that was followed by the Egyptian school in the third century AH, and it is known for the method of chain of transmission used by the narrators of the hadith. "e;Nevertheless, the theory of criticizing the historical narrative itself remained something that Ibn Abd al-Hakam did not know, just as his contemporaries did not know it."e; Historians of the Third Century AH,"e; which resulted in some myths leaking into some chapters of his book, especially those related to the history of ancient Egypt.
