Abu al-Hasan Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdillah Ibn al-Qasim Ibn Nafi'i Ibn Abi Bazzah ( Arabic: أحمد بن محمد بن عبدالله بن القاسم بن نافع بن أبي بزَّة), better known simply as al-Bazzi (170–250AH) (786/7–864/5 CE), [1] [2] was an important figure in the transmission of Qira'at, the seven canonical methods of Qur'an reading. [3] He and Qunbul were the primary people responsible for spreading the recitation method of Ibn Kathir al-Makki, [3] [4] [5] which became especially popular among the people of Mecca. [6]
Al-Bazzi's forefather, Abu Bazza, was of Persian descent and had reportedly converted to Islam through al-Sāʾib b. Abī al-Sāʾib Ṣayfī al-Makhzūmī (died after 638), one of the companions of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. [7] Al-Bazzi was a client ( mawla) of the Banu Makhzum tribe. [7]
Al-Bazzi was considered the chief Qāriʾ in his time and was also the Mu'adhin of Al-Masjid al-Haram. [2] He died in 864CE. [4] [5]
