94 – Abū Maʿshar the Astrologer, Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad al-Balkhī *
A prolific author in the fields of astrology and geometry.
It is said that he had first been a ḥadith transmitter, but he was deceived and turned to astrology when he was a little over forty; he then lived to be more than a hundred.
He passed away in Ramaḍān of the year 272 AH.
The caliph al-Mustaʿīn had him beaten because one of his predictions came true before the event.
Among his writings are: Kitāb al-Zīj (Astronomical Tables), Kitāb al-Mawālīd (Nativities), Kitāb al-Qarānāt (Planetary Conjunctions), Kitāb Ṭabāʾiʿ al-Buldan (Climates of the Regions), and many other rambling works.

95 – The Goldsmith, Abū Jaʿfar Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl ibn Sālim ** (D (1))

He heard ḥadith from his father, Abū Usāmah, Abū Dāʾūd al-Ḥafarī, Rūḥ ibn ʿUbādah, Ḥajjāj ibn Muḥammad al-Aʿwar, and several others.
