No doubt that reading the biographies of pious and honorable Imams from Hadith scholars and readers has many benefits. One of the greatest benefits is that it educates and civilizes souls. Imam AL-A’MASH AL-KUFI is one of those who can be imitated, may Allah be pleased with him, he was the sheikh of the readers and Hadith scholars; moreover, his most famous virtues is that he never missed the first TAKBEER for seventy years. He was a hadith scholar and reader, rather he had a choice in reading as he get it from the companions, peace be upon them, but his QIRAAT is now considered unusual and odd (SHADHAH) due to its irregularity among other readings (lack of TAWAATUR), So he became one of the four Imams with the considered unusual and odd readings: AL-HASAN AL-BASRI (died: 110 AH), IBN MUHAISIN AL-MAKKI (died: 123 AH), AL-A’MASH AL-KUFI (died: 148 AH), and Yahya al-Yazidi (died: 202 AH), their readings have been transmitted with authentic chains of transmission and were written down in specific books over centuries. This is Imam AL-A’MASH AL-KUFI. AL-DHAHABI quoted him saying: “If I did not have had Qur’an and its knowledge, I would have been one of the grocers in KUFA.” This is a modest article in which I introduced the Imam, as well as the bullets of those who narrated his readings from him, and then I mentioned some of the examples of his unusual and odd readings that contradicted the frequent readings (QIRAAT MTAWATIRAH), with a mention of its guidance from Arabic language by referring to the original bases. The summary consists of an introduction and three chapters.
