131 – Hāshim ibn Marthad, Abū Saʿīd al-Ṭabarānī al-Ṭayālisī *
A client of the Banū al-ʿAbbās.
He heard ḥadith from: Ādam ibn Abī Iyyās, al-Muʿāfā al-Rusʿanī, Yaḥyā ibn Maʿīn, and Ṣafwān ibn Ṣāliḥ.
Those who narrated from him include: his son Saʿīd, ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Muḥammad al-Ḥarrānī, Yaḥyā ibn Zakariyyā al-Naysābūrī, and Sulaymān al-Ṭabarānī. Hāshim was counted among Sulaymān’s senior teachers; Sulaymān heard from him in Tiberias in 273 AH. Even so, Hāshim was not especially accurate.
Ibn Ḥibbān said: “He is of no consequence.”
He died in Shawwāl, 278 AH.
132 – al-Tirmidhī, Muḥammad ibn ʿĪsā ibn Sawrah ibn Mūsā ibn al-Ḍaḥḥāk *
Another version gives his lineage as Muḥammad ibn ʿĪsā ibn Yazīd ibn Sawrah ibn al-Sakan. The ḥadīth master, the renowned authority, the imām, the accomplished scholar— Ibn ʿĪsā al-Sulamī, al-Tirmidhī the Blind— author of the Jāmiʿ, Kitāb al-ʿIlal, and other works.
There is a difference of opinion regarding his eyesight. Some said he was born blind, but the sound view is that he lost his sight in old age, after completing his travels and writing down knowledge.
