Tazkirat al-Awliyā (Persian: تذکرةالاولیا or تذکرةالاولیاء, lit. "Biographies of the Saints") – variant transliterations: Tadhkirat al-Awliya, Tazkerat-ol-Owliya , Tezkereh-i-Evliā etc. – is a hagiographic collection of ninety-six Sufi saints (wali, plural awliya) and their miracles (karamat) authored by the Sunni Muslim Persian poet and mystic Farīd al-Dīn ‘Aṭṭar of Nishapur who lived from 1145 to 1221.
Aṭṭar's only surviving prose work comprises 72 chapters, beginning with the life of Jafar al-Sadiq and ending with the Sufi martyr, Mansur Al-Hallaj's. Included in the list are four eponymous Sunni madhab founders, namely Sufyan al-Thawri, Abu Hanifah, Al-Shafi'i and Ahmad ibn Hanbal.
