Abu ‘Amr Hafs Ibn ‘Umar Ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz al-Baghdadi, better known as Al-Duri (767-860 CE; 150-246 AH), [1] [2] was a significant figure in the transmission of the Qira'at, or methods of reciting the Qur'an. [3] [4] Of the seven canonical reciters, al-Duri was a transmitter for two entirely separate methods: that of Abu 'Amr ibn al-'Ala' and that of Al-Kisa'i. [5] [6] He was a direct disciple of the latter and an indirect disciple of the former due to a generational gap. [7] al-Duri transmits Abu 'Amr's recitation through Abu Muhammad Yahya ibn al-Mubarak ibn a-Mughirah al-Yazidi (d. 202 AH). [8] Learned men were said to have travelled from different countries to learn both Qur'an recitation as well as Hadith from him. [3] Among his students in recitation were Muhammad bin Dawud al-Zahiri and Niftawayh. [9]
Al-Duri was born in Samarra in the year 767CE, [7] died in Baghdad during the month of Shawwal in the year 860CE. [2] [4] [7] Though he was born and grew up in Samarra, his roots were traced to his city of death and he was a member of the Arabian tribe of Azd. [3] A simple and pious man, he lost his sight in his old age. [3]
