Abstract
In various eras, scribes have made errors and slips in their manuscripts for various reasons, including carelessness and non-compliance with confidentiality, and have tampered with these texts. These slips and possessions, which sometimes seem to be the result of scribes' negligence and impatience, and in some cases may be intentional, are always found in the manuscripts of various literary texts. The text of Shamayil al-Atqiya and Razayel al-Ashqiya is one of the texts left over from the mysticism and the
Chishtiyyah Tariqa. in which the arguments and opinions of the elders of Cheshtiyyah were copied by one of her disciples - named Rukn al-Din Debir Kashani - in this collection and various versions after Rukn al-Din were copied by the scribes and made available to the audience. In these versions, many slips can be seen in not mentioning the names of poets and composers of verses that are not the author's. And as we get closer to the late era, these problems become more visible. In such a way that the writer refused to attribute the poems to the main poet and paid attention to the verses as if they were written by Rukn al-Din Kashani.
