Welcome wordsearcher.
There are several ways to describe such a scenario. Suppose Bob has told Jim that all cats are purple, incorrectly, but in the sincere belief that it is so. The most concise way to describe this would be to say "Bob erroneously told Jim that all cats are purple."
I don't know of a verb that specifically means to unintentionally say something untrue.
