i had a hub connected to a bpdu enabled interface that triggered the bpdu guard and got the interface into err-disable , my question is would a hub cause this? and why? and would a hub pose any harm to my network???

should not have ,not really as hubs know nothing of bpdus they don't see them , unless you have some form of smarthub that acts like a switch or bridge

you can check with the below command , stick you hub back in it and watch the bpdu counter

#sh spanning-tree interface GigabitEthernet2/0/1 d
