Abstract
In this research, I discussed the term many errors according to Imam al-Bayhaqi, which he uses to refer to narrators. At the beginning of the research, I wrote a biography of Imam al-Bayhaqi, and I introduced the term mistaken. Then I began by mentioning the full name of the narrator, without abbreviating it, along with mentioning his lineage and nickname. I relied on original books and sources. I mentioned what al-Bayhaqi said about the narrator, and then I mentioned the sayings of the imams regarding criticism and approval, whether it was approval of the narrator or criticism. As for the discussion and the result, it is the last part of the comparative study. After presenting what al-Bayhaqi said about the narrator, and the sayings of scholars about him, then I balanced between the sayings, preferring between them according to what appears to me from the rules of the science of criticism and approval, taking the opinion of the previous imams. In most cases, when Imam al-Bayhaqi uses the term many errors regarding the narrator, he originally meant by it poor memory. We often find him saying many errors has a poor memory, as if the error is the result of poor memory. Among the causes of error are: fate, trials, and negligence. The narrator should be careful to ensure that he has memorized it, or that the narrator does not have an original book, or that he does not have memorized it, or that he narrated it from memory without an original book.
