191 – Ibn ʿĪsā, ʿĪsā ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Sharīshī*
The senior Qur’an reciter of Alexandria—discussed at length in Tabaqāt al-Qurrāʾ—the imam Abū al-Qāsim ʿĪsā, son of the hadith scholar ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿĪsā ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid al-Sharīshī.

He was born in the frontier port city in the early 550s AH.

He heard a great deal from al-Silafī and from others.

He recited before a number of teachers, mastering both the mass-transmitted canonical readings and the anomalous ones, and he authored works on qirāʾāt. Nevertheless, he is under suspicion and not deemed reliable; his audition from al-Silafī is sound, but in the field of Qur’anic readings he makes many claims.

Hasan, the grandson of Ziyādah, transmitted to us from him.

He died in 629 AH (1).
