The Thematic Commentary On The Holy Quran - Infallibility Of Leaders - P 01

The Almighty Allah says: إِنَّ هَذَا الْقُرْآنَ يَهْدِي لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ وَيُبَشِّرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا كَبِيرًا. Surely this Quran guides to that which is most upright and gives good news to the believers who do good that they shall have a great reward. (Sura Isra 17:9) That is, the path of following and believing in the true Imams.1 It is also narrated that once Hisham bin Hakam asked about the meaning of Infallible from Imam Sadiq (a.s.). He replied: Infallible is the one who, by the guidance of Allah, prevents himself from all those things which have been prohibited by Allah. Allah says: وَمَنْ يَعْتَصِمْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ هُدِيَ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ. And whoever holds fast to Allah, he indeed is guided to the right path. (Sura Ali-Imran 3:101) According to the hidden meaning (Tawil) explained by Imam Sadiq (a.s.) the meaning of this verse is: A man who, under Allahs Guidance, keeps himself safe from every sin is doubtlessly guided towards the Right Path, Karajiki has, in Kanzul Fawaid, reports from the Messenger of Allah that he says: Jibraeel (a.s.) has informed me that the writers (two angels appointed for recording the deeds) of Amirul Momineen say that ever since we are with Hazrat we had found no occasion to write any sin committed by him. And he has, through the Ahle Sunnat sources, narrated that Ammar Yasir said: the Holy Prophet (S) said: Those angels who are writing the deeds of Amirul Momineen (a.s.) feel proud over all other writers of deeds because they are in company of the one, none of whose deeds which we took to sky was ever to the dislike of Allah. It is mentioned in Aqaide Imamiyah that Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said to Amash that all the messengers and all the Wasis (legatees) are clean of sins and of all undesirable (lowly) habits. It is mentioned in the Aqaide Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) that Imam Ridha (a.s.) had written to Mamoon Rashid that Allah never makes it obligatory for the creation to obey a man about whom He knows that he will become disbeliever (apostate) and who will worship Him while obeying the devil. It is written in Ilalush Sharai with reliable chains of narrators through Sulaym Ibne Qays Hilali that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said: Obedience of only Allah and the Messenger and the Ulil Amr is obligatory and the obedience of the Ulil Amr is ordered only because they are pure of sins and clean of evils, that is, only because they are thus Infallible and never order to disobey Allah.
