Al-Ashnani (841 - 919 CE/ 227 - 14th Muharram 307 AH) (Arabic: الأشناني) was a famous qur'an and hadith reciter. He was equally famous in both disciplines. In qu'ran recitation, Al-Ashnani was a student of Obaid bin Al-Saba, and holds a place in many Ijazah lineages.
Al-Ashnani lived for at least part, if not all, of his life in Baghdad. He died at the age of 80 years, by the Islamic calendar. He lived during the time of the Abbasid Caliphate, during the period of the fracture into autonomous dynasties. Baghdad had moved from the capital of a great empire towards a period of declining power at this time.
