Little is known about Mafarrukhi's life. He belonged to one of Isfahan's leading families, and was (or insisted to be) descended from the aristocracy of the pre-Islamic Sasanian Empire (224–651). Mafarrukhi's family probably owned land around Isfahan. Mafarrukhi's paternal grandfather was Abu Muslim Tahir ibn Muhammad, a poet in the entourage of the prominent Buyid king Adud al-Dawla (). Mafarrukhi's maternal grandfather was Abu Hasan al-Anda'ani, who was connected to the governor of Isfahan.
