Abstract In this article, the infallibility narratives in Shia valid hadith books, such as "al-Kafi, Maniyalakhbar, Alkhesal and Kafayatalasar" have been under textual and evidence-based studies and it has been specified that the most important document proving Imams’ (pbut) infallibility, is the texts of the Qur'an and those hadiths upon which there are consensus among the Imamiye. The main objective of this paper is to study the narratives in which the term “infallibility" was used and according to the survey, such narratives are about 47 Hadith and with eliminating duplicates, they are nearly 15 Hadith. In general, the narrator was investigated by Shieh scholars vote and it was found that most of the chain of infallibility narrations, are authoritative people. Of course some of them are not reliable, according to scholars, but a percentage of the unknown narrators, are those in the chain of tradition "Kalaamalzyarat" and since Ibn Quluyeh, in the preface to this book, has introduced all the book's narrators as reliable, a degree of reliability can be defined for the individuals. Among these narratives, most of them are Moanan Hadiths which include authentic and reliable hadiths. Checking the content of the narratives suggest that the prevailing traditions, virtues and attributes that a person needs to be infallible, from among these traits innocent, faithful to God, clearance of sins and imperfections. Checking the content of the narratives suggest that the prevailing traditions are the virtues and attributes that a person needs to be infallible, including infallibility from sin, being a confidante of God, being clean from sin and imperfection etc. Based on the investigations, it has been shown that these attributes belong to the imams and the prophet who are infallible from God.

In this paper, the narrations regarding Repentance and Forgiveness, which exist in reliable Hadith references such as Al-Kafi, Amali, etc., have undergone an evidence-based textual review, and it has been identified that the greatest doubts regarding the fallibility of Imams (pbut) are the narrations in which the Imams have admitted their sin and have asked for God’s forgiveness. As a result of evidential and textual reviews, it has been identified that most of these narrations are weak in terms of being constructed on documentary evidence, and, regarding their texts: 1) The subject of these hadiths is mostly about paying attention to God which draws others’ attention to this action; 2) the terms such as sin, repentance and forgiveness, used as evidence of fallibility, do not necessarily indicate fallibility and have different uses; 3) forgiveness of Imams (pbut) is a type of repulsive forgiveness which prevents the manifestation of sins; 4) repentance and forgiveness, in Quran’s view, is one of the greatest prayers, examples of which can be mentioned by referring to these points. All believers are called to forgiveness, and God loves those who repent.
