    • 12th century CE, ʾIbn ʿAsākir, Tārīḵ Dimašq [History of Damascus]:
      نا أبو أمية ... عن أبي هريرة قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‌‌ ولد لنوح ثلاثة سام وحام ويافث فولد سام العرب وفارس والروم والخير فيهم وولد يافث يأجوج ومأجوج والترك والسقالبة ولا خير فيهم وولد حام القبط والبربر ولا خير فيهم.
      ʾAbū ʾUmayyah ... quoting ʾAbū Hurayra, said: "The Apostle of God — God shower blessing and salutation on him and grant [him] peace — said: 'To Noah three were born: Shem, Ham and Japheth. And the progeny of Shem are the Arabs, Persia and Byzantium, and there is good in them; the progeny of Japheth are Gog and Magog, the Turks and the Slavs, and there is no good in them, and the progeny of Ham are the Egyptians and the Berbers, and there is no good in them.'"
    • 14th century CE, ʾIbn Kaṯīr, al-Bidāya wan-Nihāya [The Beginning and the End]:
      قالوا: وقتل الله عز وجل في تلك الليلة أبكار القبط، وأبكار دوابهم ليشتغلوا عنهم، وخرج بنو إسرائيل حين انتصف النهار، وأهل مصر في مناحة عظيمة على أبكار أولادهم وأبكار أموالهم، ليس من بيت إلا وفيه عويل، وحين جاء الوحي إلى موسى خرجوا مسرعين، فحملوا العجين قبل اختماره، وحملوا الأزواد في الأردية، وألقوها على عواتقهم.
      They say that God — mighty and dignified — killed on that night the firstborn of the Egyptians and the firstborn of their beasts, so as to be distracted from them, while the Children of Israel went out at midday. And the people of Egypt were in such great grief over the firstborn of their children and the firstborn of their chattel that there was not a single house without wailing therein. And when the revelation came to Moses they went out hurrying, as they loaded the dough before it became fermented and loaded the traveling-provisions in drapery and threw it over their shoulders.
