Habib was a deacon of the village of Telshaha near Edessa. He continued, despite the persecution that caused the death of Shmona and Guria, to travel from village to village encouraging the Christians. It was in the region of Zeugma on the Euphrates when he learned that Lysanius was looking for him. He was imprisoned and burnt to death, and his mother accompanied him to his death. He was entombed near Shmona and Guria.
The martyrology of Rabban Ṣaliba celebrates a Ḥabib, not identified, on the 11th of March.
There is a metrical homily on Ḥabib by Jacob of Serug.
