Abu al-Hasan Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdillah Ibn Buzzah, better known simply as al-Buzzi (170-250AH),[1][2] was an important figure in the transmission of Qira'at, the seven canonical methods of Qur'an reading.[3] He and Qunbul were the primary people responsible for spreading the recitation method of Ibn Kathir al-Makki,[3][4][5] which became especially popular among the people of Mecca.[6]

Al-Buzzi was considered the chief Qāriʾ in his time and was also the Mu'adhin of Al-Masjid al-Haram.[2] He died in 864CE.[4][5]
