He was born at Al-Hirah, the son of Hanif.[1] He became a monk under Mar Abda of Gamre. After having taught as a disciple by Mar Babai, he later lived in a cave. One of his miraculous actions was to have treated a wound of a hunter who had been injured by a lion with healing oil. He preached Christianity to the Zoroastrian Persians and was said to have performed many miracles before dying in his cave in 680.[2]
