Abu Abd al-Rahman Abd Allah ibn Habib al-Sulami

Abū ‘Abd al-Raḥmān ‘Abd Allāh ibn Ḥabīb ibn Rabī‘ah al-Sulamī (Arabic: أبو عبد الرحمن عبد الله بن حبيب بن ربيعة السُلميّ) was a blind ḥadīth narrator and qāriʾ (Qur’ān reciter) born during the lifetime of the Islamic prophet Muḥammad.

His father, Ḥabīb ibn Rabī‘ah As-Sulamī, was a companion of Muḥammad.

Abū ‘Abdir-Raḥmān As-Sulamī is thought to have died in either AH 73 (692/693 CE) or AH 74 (693/694 CE), in Bishr ibn Marwān province in Al-Kūfah.

Beginning in the caliphate of ‘Uthmān ibn ‘Affān, he held classes showing the recitation of the Qur’ān to individuals in the Great Mosque of Al-Kūfah for many years until his death.

[2] Abū ‘Abdir-Raḥmān As-Sulamī never took payment for such recitations of the Qur’ān.
