The conquest of Andalusia was completed during the caliphate of Walid ibn Abd al-Malik (86-96 AH) and led by Musa ibn Nosair and Tariq ibn Ziad during the years 95-92 AH and As a result of this conquest, many tribes and nations entered Andalusia. This article examines the report of Beite Dhu al- aqfal in Toledo with the aim of how different ethnic groups entered Andalusia and their impact on the compilation of historical reports. The findings of the research using descriptive-analytical method and analysis of historical documents show that as a result of the conquest of Andalusia and the ethnic and cultural composition of different people in this region, fictional stories and narratives derived from the historical culture of these tribes found their way into Andalusian historiography. Therefore, the conquest of Toledo and the Beite Dhu al- aqfal is one of the fictional narrations of the conquest of Andalusia, the story of which came from this cultural mix and was charted in historical sources.
