Hamza's qirāʾa belongs to the Kufan school and is distinguished by notable phonetic features, including the sakt (brief pause on a sukun before hamza) and extended madd, making it one of the more demanding recitations in performance.
Hamza's qirāʾa historically spread in Kufa, the eastern lands, and parts of Anatolia. It maintains its presence in qirāʾat centres, although the Hafs recitation now predominates in those regions.
റാവി: Khallad an Hamza
Khallad ibn Khalid al-Kufi (died c. 220 AH / 835 CE), one of the prominent transmitters of Hamza al-Zayyat. He received the recitation directly from Hamza, and his transmission is the second of Hamza's two main transmissions in the qirāʾat books.
റാവി: Khalaf an Hamza
Khalaf ibn Hisham al-Bazzar (150–229 AH / 767–843 CE), one of the most famous transmitters of Hamza al-Zayyat and simultaneously an independent reader (the tenth canonical reciter). He received the recitation from Hamza and Sulaym, with precise rulings on sakt.
