Abu ‘Isa Khallad Ibn Khalid al-Baghdadi, best known as Khallad (?-220AH),[1] was a significant early figure in the Qira'at,[2][3] or variant methods of reciting the Qur'an. Khallad and Khalaf al-Bazzar were the two primary transmitters of the Qur'an reading method of Hamzah 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]
