The book "Husn al-Muhadarah fi Tarikh Misr wa al-Qahirah" (The Excellent Discourse on the History of Egypt and Cairo) by Imam Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti describes ancient Egypt, from the time of the Pharaohs and the builders of the pyramids, to modern Egypt, including events of his own era. It also describes the Islamic conquests and the accompanying events, including the integration of Egyptians with Arabs after the conquest of Egypt by the noble companion Amr ibn al-As in 20 AH during the reign of Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him). The book mentions those who came to Egypt, including historians, storytellers, poets, and others. It also describes Egyptian customs, festivals, and the various social gatherings and literary salons that existed there. The book is considered a historical document about the life of al-Suyuti, as he dedicated an entire chapter to his biography, the scholars from whom he learned, the countries he traveled to, the sciences he mastered, and the books he authored.
