Shu'bah
Abu Bakr Shu‘bah Ibn ‘Ayyash Ibn Salim al-Kufi an-Nahshali, more commonly known as Shu'bah, is a significant figure in the history of Qur'an reading. He was a native of Kufa. Like Hafs, Shu'bah narrated the method of reading from Aasim ibn Abi al-Najud, though the reading of Hafs is more well known in the Muslim world today.
Shady Nasser quotes ad-Dhahabi as bringing a report that Shu'bah rejected the reading of his contemporary Hamzah az-Zaiyyat as bid'ah.
