In epistemology, human cognitions are accompanied by limitations and errors. The error possibility in understanding the truth is one of the cases that justify the truth of tolerance. This study examines tolerance from its epistemological aspect using an analytical method based on the traditional hermeneutic views of Ayn al-Qud'at al-Hamadani. In this paper, we seek to answer the fundamental question of how Ayn al-Qud'at al-Hamadani justified epistemic tolerance in his traditional hermeneutic perspective. The findings indicate that, in Ayn al-Qud'at's thought, individuals are at different levels of epistemology. Even for a complete mystic in a state beyond reason knowing the truth is impossible, let alone for those stuck in the state of reason. On the other hand, the transmission of knowledge is also not possible, except through similar words; its understanding is also different due to linguistic limitations and restrictions in audience understanding. Therefore, this possibility of error and the existence of limitations in knowing the truth can be considered the most important factor justifying tolerance; it results in "cognitive humility", which manifests itself for the mystic as "astonishment", and for the non-mystic, in "interpretation", which paves the way towards changeability, which is the product of admitting epistemic impotence.
