We know this much that he lived in the second half of the 6th century and the first quarter of the 7th century, he was from Neishabur, and several books of poetry and one book of prose remain from him. Neither his masters, nor his contemporaries, nor his line of elders in Sufism, none of them, is clear for sure. We have no information about his possible travels and there is no definite information about his personal life and his wife, children, parents and relatives. In the seven centuries that have passed since his life, a variety of feeble and sickly poems have been created in his name, and it is not an easy task to separate Attar's reality from those nonsense. Therefore, those searching for Attar's biography should always be aware of this basic problem and always observe caution in their judgments. Everything that has been said in this regard has mostly been possibilities and legends, and perhaps this being hidden in the cloud of ambiguity is one of the reasons.
