Abū Maʿbad (or Abū Bakr) ʿAbd Allāh ibn Kathīr al-Dārānī al-Makkī, better known as Ibn Kathir al-Makki (665–737 CE [45–120 AH]), [1] was one of the transmitters of the seven canonical Qira'at, or methods of reciting the Qur'an. [2] His recitations were generally popular among the people of Mecca. [3]
Al-Makki was born in Mecca and was one of the Tabi‘un. [4] His family was of Iranian origin and were immigrants to Yemen. [5] Al-Makki was a mawla ("freedman") of Amr ibn Alkama al-Kinani. [5]
Al-Makki met the companions of Muhammad Anas ibn Malik and Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, [4] and he learned his recitation method from a student of Muhammad companion Abd Allah ibn Abbas who in turn learned from Ubay ibn Ka'b and Zayd ibn Thabit who both learned directly from Muhammad. [4] Al-Shafi‘i, the namesake of one of the four primary schools of thought in Sunni Islam, preferred to recite the Qur'an according to al-Makki's method. [4]
He died in the year 737CE. [3] [6] The two primary transmitters of his method of recitation, Al-Bazzi and Qunbul, [2] [7] were Persian and Meccan respectively.
