Abu Shu'ayb Salih ibn Ziyad ibn Abdillah ibn Ibrahim ibn al-Jarood al-Rustubi al-Soussi al-Raqqi (Arabic: أبو شعيب صالح بن بن زياد بن عبدالله بن إسماعيل بن إبراهيم بن الجارود الرُّستبي السوسي الرَّقي, c. 789/790 – 874),[1] better known as Abu Shu'ayb al-Soussi or simply al-Soussi, was a significant figure in the transmission of the qira'at, having transmitted the qira'ah of Abu 'Amr through Yahya al-Yazidi.
Abu Shu;ayb al-Soussi was born in 173 AH (around 790 AD), and learned the Quran from Yahya al-Yazidi, who himself had learnt from the renowned scholar and Arab linguist Abu Amr.
His students in the Quran included his son Abu al-Ma'soom Muhammad and Al-Nasa'i.
It was narrated that when his daughter's husband did not explicitly reject the createdness of the Quran, a well-known Mu'tazilite position, he terminated their marriage.
[6] Al-Soussi died in Raqqa in the month of Muharram in 261 AH (late 874 AD).
