Abu al-Khayr Shams al-Din Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Yusuf al-Jazari (Arabic: أبو الخير شمس الدين محمد بن محمد بن محمد بن علي بن يوسف الجزري, 26 November 1350– 2 December 1429) was a scholar in the field of the qira'at of the Qur'an, whom al-Suyuti regarded as the "ultimate authority on these matters".[6] His works on tajwid and qira'at are considered classics.[7] The nisba (attributive title), Jazari, denotes an origin from Jazirat ibn 'Umar.[8]
Biography
Al-Jazari was born in Damascus on Friday 26 November 1350 (25 Ramadan 751 AH).[4]
He wrote two large poems about Qira'at and tajwid. One was "Durrat Al-Madiyyah" (Arabic: الدرة المضية), in the readings of three major reciters, added to the seven in the Shatibiyyah, making it ten.[citation needed] The other is "Tayyibat An-Nashr" (Arabic: طيبة النشر), which is 1014 lines on the ten major reciters in great detail, of which he also wrote a commentary.[citation needed]
Al-Jazari died at the age of 79 on Friday 2 December 1429 (5 Rabi' al-awwal 833 AH) in Shiraz, Iran.[citation needed]
