Abu ‘Amr Hafs Ibn ‘Umar Ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz al-Baghdadi, better known as Al-Duri (767-860 CE; 150-246 AH),[1][2] was a significant figure in the transmission of the Qira'at, or methods of reciting the Qur'an.
[3][4] Of the seven canonical reciters, al-Duri was a transmitter for two entirely separate methods: that of Abu 'Amr ibn al-'Ala' and that of Al-Kisa'i.
[3] Among his students in recitation were Muhammad bin Dawud al-Zahiri and Niftawayh.
[2][4][7] Though he was born and grew up in Samarra, his roots were traced to his city of death and he was a member of the Arabian tribe of Azd.
