One of the important discussions in history is the limit required for narrating the historical propositions in terms of epistemological validity. Some may confuse narration and acceptance of historical propositions and consider the limit of narrating the historical propositions as speculative of correspondence to reality, while narration is different from acceptance and in narrating, the probabilities less than speculative probability can suffice. Using the analytical method, this article first criticizes the arguments that consider the limit of fifty percent as enough for narrating the historical propositions, and then states the reasons why less than fifty percent of probability is sufficient for narrating the historical propositions. The lack of implication between the deviation of the narrator and the falsehood of the narration, the possibility of improving the validity of weak narrations through other weak narrations and the possibility of improving the validity of weak narrations through peripheral evidence have been explained as the most important arguments of the second assumption.
