Early Life
Khalaf was born in the middle of November 937 to Abu Jafar Ahmad and Banu, a granddaughter of Amr bin Laith. Little is known about the first twenty-six years of his life; presumably much of it was spent learning. From 957 or 958 at the latest he was recognized as heir to the throne and his name was included on his father's coins.
