According to some scholars, the name of 'Asim’s father was Bahdalan. Others believe that his father’s name was 'Ubayd and his mother’s name was Bahdala. He was born in the period of [[Mu'awiya b. Abi Sufyan]]’s [[caliphate]]. Thus, he was probably born between [[41]]/661-2 and 60/679-80. 'Asim died in [[Kufa]] in 127/744-5 or 128/745-6.

Abu Bakr b. 'Ayyash, one of the people who transmitted 'Asim’s recital, told a story about the last moments of 'Asim’s life: “I went to 'Asim while he was in the last hours of his life. I heard that he was reciting a Quranic verse as though he was reciting it in the [[prayer]], and the verse was: ‘they will be brought back to Allah their rightful Lord, and their invented falsehoods will leave them in the lurch’ (the Quran, 10:30).
