He is known to have been a companion of Ahmad ibn Hanbal, the founder of the Hanbali school of thought.[1][2][5][3] The historian Al-Dhahabi praised him, saying that “no one came after the companions of Ahmad like Ghulam al-Khallal, and no one came after him in turn like Abdul Aziz, unless he was Abu al-Qasim al-Kharaqani.”[5] Ghulam al-Khallal was also a Hadith narrator, and scholars including Ibn Battah narrated from him.[1][2][3]
