Abstract

According to the famous definition of infallibility by later theologians, there is no place left for examining the possibility of the Prophets and saints making mistakes, because they consider the infallible to be someone who is free from any kind of error. However, the verses and narrations are full of cases where the Prophets and saints have been attributed mistakes and errors. Accordingly, it is necessary to examine the truth of infallibility and error, its types and scope based on the verses and narrations so that the mistakes and errors that have been specified in the evidence can find a correct meaning. In this study, by collecting information, analyzing it, and comparing opinions, first the truth of infallibility and its types, and then the truth of error and its types, are examined in order to explain the scope of the possibility of error based on the narrational evidence. In the final step, the evidence of the infallible infallibility in the verses and narrations and its relationship with the infallibility of the infallible are considered. Among the results of the research are that: 1- Infallibility in verses and narrations is different from the infallibility expressed by later theologians, in such a way that infallibility from error and mistake in non-religious matters is not expressed. 2- There is no possibility of oversight and mistake in religious matters because it calls into question the purpose of the mission of the prophets and saints, which is to guide individuals. 3- Verses indicating the infallibility of the infallible can be examined in three general categories.
