Of the seven most famous transmitters of Qur'anic recitation, Ibn Amir was the oldest while Al-Kisa'i was the youngest.[4] Like Ibn Kathir al-Makki, Ibn Amir was one generation removed from the primary students who spread his method of recitation to the masses.[5] The two primary students of his method of recitation were Hisham ibn Ammar (d. 245AH/859CE) and Ibn Dhakwan (d. 242AH/857CE).[6][7]
He was from Balqa'a in Jordan.[8][9] He died in the year 736CE,[3][10] corresponding to the year 118AH.[1][2]
