Tazkirat al-Awliya

Tadhkirat al - Awliya (Persian تذکرة الاولیا / Taḏkirat al - Awliya ʾ ) is a written by the Persian poet and mystic Fariduddin Attar hagiographic collection on the lives of famous Sufis and their miracles ( keremat ). It begins with a biography of Imam Jafar al - Sadiq ( Jafar Sadiq ), the Sixth Imam of the Shia, and ends with the mystic Hallaj ( Mansur Al- Hallaj ), the Sufi martyr who is regarded as the most important literary source about his life.
