346 – Ibn al-Rūmī, ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad al-Naysābūrī*
The ascetic, devout worshipper, Abū Muḥammad ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Rūmī al-Naysābūrī al-Ḥīrī, teacher of Saʿīd ibn Abī Saʿīd al-ʿAyyār.
I (the author) obtained his ḥadith with a lofty isnād.
Al-Ḥākim said in his History: “His father, Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Rūmī, was a reputable and trustworthy transmitter.”
Abū Muḥammad himself was among the righteous and tireless in worship. He did not confine himself to the auditions recorded in his father’s book; rather, he added to them. He heard directly from Abū al-ʿAbbās al-Sarrāj, and through that the chain rose up to Ibn Khuzaymah.
He died—may Allah have mercy on him—on Monday, the sixteenth of Ramaḍān, 393 AH, and was buried in the Ḥīrah cemetery.
347 – al-Būzjānī, Abū al-Wafāʾ Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā**
The master, Abū al-Wafāʾ Muḥammad ibn Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyā al-Būzjānī, the mathematician, standard-bearer of geometry.
He authored several refined works.
Al-Kamāl ibn Yūnus (1) humbled himself before him and relied on his statements.
