Shu'bah

Abu Bakr Shu‘bah Ibn ‘Ayyash Ibn Salim al-Asadi al-Kufi an-Nahshali (d. 809CE),[1][2] more commonly known as Shu'bah, is a significant figure in the history of Qur'an reading. He was a native of Kufa.[1][2] Like Hafs, Shu'bah narrated the method of reading from Aasim ibn Abi al-Najud,[3][4][5][6] though the reading of Hafs is more well known in the Muslim world today.[7]
