A Sufi who, after affiliating with Shihab al-Din al-Suhrawardi and serving many years in Baghdad, returned to his native Shiraz where he carried out spiritual guidance at his lodge. He is regarded as the founder of the Buzghushiyya (Najibiyya) branch of the Suhrawardiyya order. He died in 678 (1279) in Shiraz and was succeeded by his son Abd al-Rahman (d. 716/1316).
