shar bamiyan was related to the ruling family of bamiyan, a town in the hindu kush whose princes bore the persian title of "sher". following the conversion of the princes of bamiyan to islam in the late eighth century, members of the dynasty had entered into the service of the abbasids and held influential positions at the caliphal court in iraq. shar bamiyan himself entered into such a career and took up residence in samarra, where he eventually became part of the entourage of the powerful turk itakh and, together with yazid ibn 'abdallah al-hulwani, was known as one of itakh's closest associates.
