Al-Ashnani (841 - 919 CE/ 227 - 14th Muharram 307 AH)[1][2] (Arabic: الأشناني) was a famous qur'an and hadith reciter. He was equally famous in both disciplines.[1] In qu'ran recitation, Al-Ashnani was a student of Obaid bin Al-Saba, and holds a place in many Ijazah lineages.
Al-Ashnani lived for at least part, if not all, of his life in Baghdad.[1] He died at the age of 80 years, by the Islamic calendar.[3] He lived during the time of the Abbasid Caliphate, during the period of the fracture into autonomous dynasties. Baghdad had moved from the capital of a great empire towards a period of declining power at this time.
