Answer:
Khuddam are servants for every letter of the Holy Qur’an and they have support and exist. You mentioned rijalallah: they are Friends of Allah that mentioned in the Holy Qur’an:
مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا
{Among the Believers are men (rijal) who have been true to their covenant with Allah. of them some have completed their vow (to the extreme), and some (still) wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least.} (Surat al-Ahzab, 33:23)
Rijal al-ghayb are Budala (sing. Badal) that are a group of awliyaullah mentioned by the Prophet (s) in many hadith, including where the Prophet (saws) said:
“If one of you loses his animal or his camel in a deserted land where there is no-one in sight, let him say: “O servants of Allah, help me! (ya `ibad Allah a`iynunee), for verily he will be helped.” (Ibn Abi Shayba’s Musannaf (7:103) from Aban ibn Salih)
Therefore keep your belief strong.
Anything written by Imam Ghazali in his Shams al-ma`arif or anything written by scholars of older time, from the 7th or 8th century Hijrah related to these Khuddam (servants of different ayats) are valid invocations. However we advise you that you do not have permission to use them because if you do you may go crazy.
Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani
