Figlio di Sinān ibn Thābit,[1] era nipote di Thābit ibn Qurra e studiò Matematica, Geometria e Astronomia a Harran.[2] approfondendo il problema di Geometria analitica della tangente e del cerchio.

Studiò anche la quadratura della parabola e la teoria degli integrali, ampliando il lavoro di Archimede, all'epoca non disponibile.[2] Viene spesso citato come uno dei più importanti matematici del suo tempo.
