Khālid b. Mādd al-Qalānisī (Arabic: خالِد بن مادّ القَلانِسی) was an Imami transmitter of hadiths and a companion of Imam al-Sadiq (a) and Imam al-Kazim (a). Khalid transmitted hadiths from Imam al-Sadiq (a) as well as other transmitters of hadiths, such as Abu Hamza al-Thumali, Jabir al-Ju'fi, Muhammad b. Fadl, and Muhammad b. Khalid al-Tayalisi. Al-Najashi considered him as a reliable transmitter of hadiths. Hadiths transmitted by him are concerned with issues of fiqh, such as hajj, wasiyya (the will), inheritance , rulings of the corpses, and also with the virtues of Ahl al-Bayt (a).

Lineage and Title

His father's name is mentioned in the chains of transmissions of many hadiths as "Madd".[1] However, some sources of 'ilm al-rijal have mentioned his father as "Ziyad",[2] "Himad",[3] "Bad"[4] and "Mazin".[5] Because of such variations about his father's name,[6] some sources have taken each to be a distinct person.[7]

In addition to "al-Qalanisi", Khalid was known as "Bayya' al-Qalanis"[8] as well which indicates his occupation as a hat-seller or hat-maker.

Reliability

Khalid was from Kufa.[9] In sources of 'ilm al-rijal, he is mentioned as a companion of Imam al-Sadiq (a) and Imam al-Kazim (a).[10] Al-Najashi[11] confirmed his reliability.[12]

Hadiths and Masters

Khalid transmitted hadiths from Imam al-Sadiq (a)[13] as well as from other transmitters of hadiths such as Abu Hamza al-Thumali,[14] Jabir al-Ju'fi,[15] Muhammad b. Fadl,[16] and Muhammad b. Khalid al-Tayalisi.[17] Hadiths transmitted by him are concerned with issues of fiqh such as hajj,[18] wasiyya (the will), inheritance,[19] corpses,[20] as well as the virtues of Ahl al-Bayt (a).[21]

Transmitters from Khalid

'Ali b. Hakam, 'Ali b. 'Abd Allah al-Bajali, 'Ali b. Mu'ammar, Zarif b. Nasih, and Muhammad b. Sanan[22] transmitted hadiths from Khalid, but Nadr b. Shu'ayb has transmitted most of Khalid's hadiths.[23]

Ibn Babawayh pointed out in his Man la yahduruh al-faqih that every hadith transmitted by Khalid is transmitted to us through Nadr b. Shu'ayb.

Work

Khalid wrote a book which was transmitted by Nadr b. Shu'ayb and Abu Hurayra 'Abd Allah b. Salam.[24] In his assessment of the work, al-Najashi implied doubts about some of its contents.[25]

Since Nadr b. Shu'ayb was a transmitter of this work, its contents can be accessed and assessed through hadiths transmitted by Nadr b. Shu'ayb.[26]
