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]
