Hafs (, , 706–796 AD; 90–180 AH), 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.
In addition to being the student of Aasim, Hafs was also his son-in-law. Having been born in Baghdad, Hafs eventually moved to Mecca where he popularized his father-in-law's recitation method.
