Overview
Khidash al-Balkhi, one of the Abbasid missionaries in Khurasan, together with Abu Ikrima al-Sarraj, Muhammad ibn Khunays, Hayyan al-Attar and Kathir al-Kufi. Taqqush says that the Umayyad authorities pursued the missionaries and killed some of them, and that others fell victim to their own extremism, such as Khidash al-Balkhi. 1
