Abu'l Qāsim ʿAbd ar-Raḥman bin ʿAbdullah bin ʿAbd al-Ḥakam (Arabic: أبو القاسم عبد الرحمن بن عبد الله بن عبد الحكم), generally known simply as Ibn ʿAbd al-Ḥakam (ابن عبد الحكم; 801 AD – 257 AH / 871 AD) was a Sunni Muslim historian and jurist from Fustat, Egypt. He wrote a work generally known as " The Conquest of Egypt and North Africa and al-Andalus" (Arabic: فتوح مصر والمغرب والاندلس, Futūḥ mișr wa'l-maghrib wa'l-andalus). This work is considered one of the earliest Islamic Arabic-language histories to have survived to the present day.
