3 – Ibn Abī al-ʿAwwām, Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Yazīd
The ḥadith scholar and Imām, Abū Bakr—also known as Abū Jaʿfar—Muḥammad ibn Aḥmad ibn Yazīd ibn Abī al-ʿAwwām al-Riyāḥī.
He studied under Yazīd ibn Hārūn, ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn ʿAṭāʾ al-ʿAqadī, and a number of others.
Those who narrated from him include Ibn ʿUqda, Ismāʿīl al-Ṣaffār, Abū Bakr al-Shāfiʿī, Ibn al-Haytham al-Anbārī, and many more.
Al-Dāraqutnī said, “He is truthful.”
I add: He passed away in 276 AH, during the month of Ramaḍān.
4 – al-Ḥasan ibn Makhlad ibn al-Jarrāḥ, Abū Muḥammad al-Baghdādī
The consummate vizier, Abū Muḥammad al-Baghdādī—the scribe—was among the foremost men of his era in prestige, discernment, courage, penmanship, eloquence, fluency, and nobility.
He was born in 209 AH.
It thus transpired that four viziers were born in that very year: he himself, ʿUbayd Allāh ibn Yaḥyā ibn Khāqān (1), Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Ṭāhir (2), and Aḥmad ibn Isrāʾīl (3).
