al-Fawaid al-Awali al-Muarrakha min al-Sihah wa al-Gharaib (The Elevated, Dated Benefits from Sound and Rare Traditions) is a hadith collection preserved from the transmissions of Judge Abu al-Qasim Ali ibn al-Muhassin al-Tanukhi (d. 447 AH / 1055 CE), compiled and extracted (takhrij) by the hadith scholar Abu Abd Allah Muhammad ibn Ali al-Suri (d. 441 AH / 1049 CE) . It is also referred to as Fawaid al-Tanukhi .

The work was transmitted from al-Tanukhi by Abu Ali al-Baqarji (al-Hasan ibn Muhammad al-Baghdadi) . It compiles elevated-chain (awali), sound (sihah), and rare (gharaib) prophetic hadiths alongside non-prophetic traditions (athar) . The text is not limited solely to narrating hadiths; it incorporates Quranic commentary (tafsir), moral exhortations, and diverse rare scholarly annotations, with al-Tanukhi frequently commenting at length on individual reports .
Manuscript and Publication
A surviving manuscript representing the fifth part (al-juz al-khamis) is preserved at the al-Asad National Library in Damascus (MS 3814 / Majmu 78, fols. 1–12), transcribed in an Eastern hand by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Ghani al-Maqdisi in 588 AH, bearing collation notes, vocalizations, corrections, and audition certificates (samaat) .
This surviving portion was edited by Umar Abd al-Salam Tadmuri and published jointly by Dar al-Iman in Tripoli and Mu'assasat al-Risala in Beirut in 1406 AH / 1985 CE (223 pages), followed by a second edition in 1407 AH / 1987 CE .
