This method is attributed to Warsh, who himself obtained it from his teacher Nafiʽ al-Madani, who was one of the seven readers who transmitted the Ten Readings.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ofZuDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT0|title=المستنير في القراءات العشر|first=ابن سوار البغدادي/أبو طاهر أحمد بن|last=علي|date=January 1, 2010|publisher=Dar Al Kotob Al Ilmiyah دار الكتب العلمية|isbn=9782745152985|via=Google Books}}

This recitation relates to Imam Warsh (716-813 CE), whose real name is Uthman Ibn Sa‘id al-Qutbi and was born in Egypt.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eJ9uDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT0|title=الكفاية الكبرى في القراءات العشر|first=أبي العز محمد بن بندار/الواسطي|last=القلانسي|date=January 1, 2007|publisher=Dar Al Kotob Al Ilmiyah دار الكتب العلمية|isbn=9782745154095|via=Google Books}}

His nickname Warsh ({{langx|ar|وَرْش}}), a milk substance, came from his teacher Nafiʽ al-Madani due to his fair complexion.{{Cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=doiNDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT0|title=شرح طيبة النشر في القراءات العشر - الجزء الأول|first=محمد بن محمد بن محمد بن علي|last=النويري|publisher=ktab INC.|via=Google Books}}

He studied his recitation according to Naafiʽ in Medina.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nzF0DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT0|title=المصباح الزاهر في القراءات العشر البواهر 1-2 ج1|first=أبو الكرم الشهرزوري/المبارك بن|last=الحسن|date=January 1, 2008|publisher=Dar Al Kotob Al Ilmiyah دار الكتب العلمية|isbn=9782745156877|via=Google Books}}
