Al-Qibt are the Copts of Egypt before Islam; the hadith foretells «a land where the qirat is spoken of will be conquered for you — when you take it, treat its people well, for they have protection and kinship», and from them came Maria the Copt, mother of the Prophet's son Ibrahim, and al-Muqawqis her master ^{1 2 3}.
