sari saqati was born in 155 AH (772 AD) in the Karkh district of Baghdad. He made a living by continuing his father's scrap business (saqati). In the first period of his life, he traveled as far as Mecca to collect hadith. His master Maruf Karkhi and Habib al-Ajami (al-Rai) had an influence on his taking the path of Sufism (tasawwuf). According to rumors, Maruf Karkhi came to Sari's shop with an orphan child asking him to dress the child, Sari fulfilled the request, and with the blessings of the prayer he received from Karkhi, he entered the path of asceticism. He gave 10 coins to Habib al-Ajami to be spent on dervishes. Upon al-Ajami’s prayer, his heart turned cold from worldly interests and turned to Sufism.[4][5] Sari al-Saqati was in conversation with famous Sufis of the period such as Maruf Karkhi, Harith al-Muhasibi, and Bishr Hafi, and is the uncle and master of Junayd of Baghdad. His tales, words and ideas were generally transmitted by Junaid Baghdadi
