Abu Bakr Shu‘bah Ibn ‘Ayyash Ibn Salim al-Asadi al-Kufi an-Nahshali (Arabic: أبو بكر شعبة بن عياش بن سالم الأسدي الكوفي النهشلي, 95-193 AH/713-808 CE),[1][2][3] more commonly known as Shu'bah, is a significant figure in the history of Qur'an reading as well as a hadith narrator. He was a native of Kufa.[1][2] Like Hafs, Shu'bah narrated one of seven conical readings of the Quran from Aasim ibn Abi al-Najud,[4][5][6][7] though the reading of Hafs is more well known in the Muslim world today.[8]
Ahmed bin Hanbal said about him: "He is truthful and trustworthy, a reciter of the Qur’an and a good person".
Ibn Al-Mubarak said: I have not seen anyone closer to the Sunnah than Abu Bakr Ibn Ayyash.[9]
Shady Nasser quotes ad-Dhahabi as bringing a report that Shu'bah rejected the reading of his contemporary Hamzah az-Zaiyyat as bid'ah.[10][11]
