al-Aʿmash
Sulaimān ibn Mihrān al-Aʿmasch al-Asadī ( Arabic سليمان بن مهران الأعمش الأسدي, DMG Sulaimān ibn Mihrān al-Aʿmaš al-Asadī ; † 764/5) was a Koran reciter and traditionalist from Kufa , who was known for his sympathy with the Shia .
It is said that al-Aʿmash was born on the day of Hussain's death in the battle of Karbala (680). His father was a Persian, the Nisba al-Asadī refers to the Arab tribe Asad ibn Chuzaima, of which he was a client . His reading of the Koran , which followed the tradition of ʿAbdallāh ibn Masʿūd and Ubaiy ibn Kaʿb , was included in the list of 14 readings of the Koran , but was considered "deviating" ( šāḏḏ ). As a narrator, he handed down hadiths with a clear tendency against Muʿāwiya I and his followers, as well as in favor of ʿAlī ibn Abī Tālib . He also circulated hadiths that supported the doctrine of predestination . Al-Aʿmash met with a lot of criticism with his tradition of tradition. Some referred to him as a mudallis . A mudallis is someone who falsifies the Isnade by replacing the names of “weak” traditionalists with “credible” ones in order to be able to use a hadith as a basis for argumentation in law and theology.
