Abu ‘Isa Khallad Ibn Khalid al-Baghdadi, best known asKhallad (?-220AH),[ 1] was a significant early figure in theQira'at ,[ 2] [ 3] or variant methods of reciting theQur'an . Khallad andKhalaf al-Bazzar were the two primary transmitters of theQur'an reading method ofHamzah az-Zaiyyat .[ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
Although Khallad was one of the primary transmitters of Qur'an recitation, he rarely taught the skill, and when he did so, he only taught a small number of select individuals.[ 7] He was known for being one of the more meticulous reciters.[ 8]
He died in the year 835CE.[ 1] [ 2] [ 4] [ 5]
