Alchemist Jabir ibn Hayyan?
That's the right answer.
So here's a small amount of information about Jabir ibn Hayyan and his works: he mainly did philosophy, but just like the men who were busy with Philosophy in that age (8th-9th century) he didn't just stop with that. He also had works on maths, astronomy (as well as astrology), physics, pharmacy, engineering and, as you can guess, alchemy (which is the foundation of chemistry). He wrote a book called Kitab al-Kimya which could be translated as the "Book of Chemistry" (but was translated as "Book of Alchemy" because for a good eight hundred years, something called chemistry didn't exist in Europe because... well, middle age). He's known as the "Father of Alchemy" alongside with Lavoisier, Dalton, Boyle and a lot of others because he created the first known systematic classification of chemical substances (acidic and basic).
