Shams al-Din Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Abi Bakr,[a] commonly known by the nisba al-Maqdisi[b] or al-Muqaddasī,[c] was a medieval Arab[1] geographer, author of The Best Divisions in the Knowledge of the Regions[d] and Description of Syria (Including Palestine).
Al-Maqdisi is one of the earliest known historical figures to self-identify as a Palestinian,[2] having done so when sharing an anecdote on one of his travels in Persia.[3][4]

و احكيت لهم بناء فلسطين و طارحتهم مسائل في البناء فقال لي الاستاذ انت مصري ؟. قلت لا بل فلسطيني . قال سمعت ان عندكم تخرم الاحجار كما يخرم الخشب. قلت اجل (And I told them of the architecture in Palestine , and asked them questions in the art of architecture. He {a Stone cutter} asked me 'Are you Egyptian ? ".I said 'No , I am Palestinian'. He said : 'I heard you drill stone as you would drill wood ?'. I said 'Yes'.)
