Describe the bug

If I do

const response = await authClient.admin.listUsers({
  query: {
    sortBy: 'createdAt',
    sortDirection: 'desc',
    filterField: 'role',
    filterOperator: 'eq',
    filterValue: 'user',
  },
  fetchOptions: {
    headers: await headers(),
  },
})

it works fine, however if I change eq to ne it returns an error:

 ERROR   TypeError The "payload" argument must be of type object. Received null                                                                                                                                                Better Auth

 GET /api/auth/admin/list-users?sortBy=createdAt&sortDirection=desc&filterField=role&filterOperator=ne&filterValue=user 500 in 59ms

Expected behavior
It should return no error and the list of users correctly filtered.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context

Here's my betterAuth initialization:

export const auth = betterAuth({
  database: prismaAdapter(prisma, {
    provider: 'postgresql',
  }),
  emailAndPassword: {
    enabled: true,
    requireEmailVerification: false,
    sendResetPassword: async ({ user, url, token }, request) => {
      await sendResetPasswordEmail(user as User, url, token)
    },
  },
  plugins: [admin()],
})

I just updated better-auth to the latest version and still get the same error:

If you're still encountering the error:
⨯ TypeError: The "payload" argument must be of type object. Received null,

try adding the following block to the auth.ts file:

onAPIError: {
    onError(e) {
        if (e instanceof Error) {
            console.error(e.stack);
        }
    }
}

While this might not resolve the issue directly, it will help you understand what's causing the error.
