Sahib was born on 14 September 938 in Talaqancha, a village roughly 20 miles south of the major Buyid city of [[Isfahan]]. His father was Abu'l-Hasan Abbad ibn Abbas (d. 946), a renowned and well-educated administrator, who composed works on the [[Muʿtazila|Mu'tazili]] doctrine. Sahib spent his childhood at Talakan, a town in [[Daylam]] near [[Qazvin]].{{sfn|Pellat|Cahen|2012}} He later settled in Isfahan, and served for some time as an official of the [[Buyid dynasty|Buyid]] ruler of [[Jibal]], [[Rukn al-Dawla]] (r. 935–976). After the death of his father, Sahib became the pupil of the scholar and philosopher, [[Abu 'l-Fadl ibn al-'Amid|Ibn 'al-Amid]], who had recently replaced Sahib's deceased father as the [[vizier]] of Rukn al-Dawla.{{sfn|Pomerantz}}
