Hafs ^[1] (706–796 AD; 90–180 Anno Hegirae),^[2]^[3] according to Islamic tradition, was one of the primary transmitters of one of the seven canonical methods of Qur'an recitation (qira'at). His method via his teacher Aasim ibn Abi al-Najud has become the most popular method across the majority of the Muslim world.^[4]

In addition to being the student of Aasim, Hafs was also his son-in-law.^[5] Having been born in Baghdad, Hafs eventually moved to Mecca where he popularized his father-in-law's recitation method.^[5]

Eventually, Hafs' recitation of Aasim's method was made the official method of Egypt,^[6] having been formally adopted as the standard Egyptian printing of the Qur'an under the auspices of Fuad I of Egypt in 1923.^[5] The majority of copies of the Quran today follow the reading of Hafs. In North and West Africa there is a bigger tendency to follow the reading of Warsh.^[7]
