‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Amir Ibn Yazid Ibn Tamim Ibn Rabi‘ah al-Yahsibi
‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Amir Ibn Yazid Ibn Tamim Ibn Rabi‘ah al-Yahsibi, better known as Ibn Amir (118 AH - 736 CE),[1][2] was one of the seven canonical transmitters of the
Qira'at,[3] or methods of reciting the
Qur'an.
Of the seven most famous transmitters of Qur'anic recitation, Ibn Amir was the oldest while
Al-Kisa'i was the youngest.[4] Like
Ibn Kathir al-Makki, Ibn Amir was one generation removed from the primary students who spread his method of recitation to the masses.[5] The two primary students of his method of recitation were
Hisham ibn Ammar (d. 245AH/859CE) and
Ibn Dhakwan (d. 242AH/857CE).[6][7]
