7 - Abu Muhammad Nasr ibn Muhammad ibn Sabrah al-Shirakathi, the nisbah referring to Shirakath, one of the villages of Nasaf. Abu Sa'd al-Sam'ani mentioned his transmission in *al-Ansab* under the nisbah al-Shirakathi, in the entry on Abu Nasr Ahmad ibn 'Ammar ibn 'Ismah ibn Mu'adh al-Shirakathi, whose mention has already preceded among the students of al-Tirmidhi.
8 - Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn Jamahir. Al-Qasim ibn Yusuf al-Tujibi mentioned his transmission in his *Barnamaj*, p. 107.

However, the most famous of these transmissions is that of Abu al-'Abbas al-Mahbubi, for all the manuscript copies in our hands are transmitted through him, except for a fragment of the Chester Beatty copy transmitted through Abu Hamid al-Tajir and Abu Dharr al-Tirmidhi. Al-Hafiz Abu al-Qasim al-Is'ardi said in *Fada'il al-Kitab al-Jami'*, p. 42: "As for the one who transmitted from Abu 'Isa, may God be pleased with him, he is Abu al-'Abbas Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Mahbub ibn Fudayl al-Tajir al-Marwazi al-Mahbubi, and it is through his transmission from him that [the work] became famous."
