Who is Mansour Al-Hallaj? And what is his status in Islamic history?

Al-Husayn ibn Mansour Al-Hallaj, Abu Mughith, grew up in Wasit or Tustar, and traveled to Mecca, Khorasan, and India, where he learned magic. He settled in Baghdad. He was a swindler who deceived people and claimed sainthood. He was killed in Baghdad in the year 309 AH on charges of apostasy and heresy. The scholars of his era unanimously agreed on his execution. Among his sayings were: his claim to prophethood and then divinity by saying: "I am God," his belief in incarnation (hulul) and union (ittihad), claiming that God had incarnated in him, his defiance of the Quran, his saying: "The creatures held beliefs about God, and I believed all that they believed," his nullification of the pillars of Islam, and his claim that the souls of the prophets were reincarnated in his companions. Most Sufis condemned him and denied that he was one of them. Ibn Kathir and Judge Abu Umar Al-Maliki praised his killing. Ibn Taymiyyah clarified that whoever believes his beliefs is an apostate disbeliever by the consensus of Muslims, and that no Muslim imam is known to have spoken well of him.
