Tarif ibn Malik Tarif ibn Malik ( ) was a Berber commander under Tariq ibn Ziyad , the Berber Muslim and Umayyad general who led the conquest of Visigothic Hispania in 711 . In July 710 CE , Tariq sent Tarif on a raid to test the southern coastline of the Iberian peninsula . According to legend he was aided by Julian , count of Ceuta , as a guide and emissary . Of this raid , Edward Gibbon writes : " One hundred Arabs and four hundred Africans passed over , in four vessels , from Tangier or Ceuta ; the place of their descent on the opposite shore of the strait is marked by the name of Tarif their chief " which today is the city of Tarifa . They proceeded from there to reconnoiter the terrain along the coast as a possible entry point for a larger attack , traversing " eighteen miles through a hilly country to the castle and town of Julian ; on which ( it is still called Algezire ) they bestowed the name of the Green Island , from a verdant cape that advances into the sea " . There they were hospitably received by supportive Christians — perhaps Count Julian ' s kinsmen , friends , and supporters . The end result was a successful raid into an unguarded portion of Andalusia , followed by the safe return of the raiders with plunder and captives . This convinced Taric that Iberia could be successfully invaded . Tarif subsequently accompanied Tariq ibn - Ziyad , another Muslim general of Berber descent , when the latter launched the Islamic conquest of Hispania and defeated King Roderic in the Battle of Guadalete in 711 .
