Shu'bah
Abu Bakr Shu‘bah Ibn ‘Ayyash Ibn Salim 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]
Shady Nasser quotes ad-Dhahabi as bringing a report that Shu'bah rejected the reading of his contemporary Hamzah az-Zaiyyat as bid'ah.[8][9]
