One popular tradition says that the great mathematician and poet Omar Khayyam traveled through the area when Hamadani was young, allowing Hamadani to briefly study with him.
Hamadani became a young leader of Sufi philosophical thought, advancing a more systematic view of Sufism. Hamadani was executed in Baghdad at the age of 33 on the charge of heresy. Hamadani, Hallaj, and Suhrawardi are often linked as Sufi masters who were martyred for expressing truths authorities found too uncomfortable to hear.
