Musa ibn 'Uqba al-Asadī (Arabic: موسى بن عقبة; 665–758), known with his honorific as Mūsā ibn ʿUqba, was an early Medinan historian and traditionalist, and pupil of Imam Zuhri and was a slave of the family of Zubair.
Imam Malik was his pupil in this art and was full of praise of him, and was also an expert on maghāzī, the military expeditions in which the Prophet of Islam Muhammad personally participated.
[1] He composed one of the earliest Sīrah books, Kitāb al-maghāzī or better known as Maghazi Musa Ibn Uqba.
[3] The only surviving portion were 18 reports compiled by Ibn Qāḍī Shuhbah(d. 1387) from various sections of the Maghāzī.
[2][4] It contained approximately two-thirds of the book, beginning from change in Qibla to Farewell Pilgrimage.
