The issue of the infallibility of the prophets is one of the many issues that have been debated among Islamic sects. All Muslims agree in the infallibility of the prophets in their mission, but in the absence of the mission, there is a difference before and after the mission. The Salafists, with all their splendor, do not forbid rationaly the commission of sins by the prophets before their prophecy, but after their prophecy, they are immune from major sins, they differ in the commission of minor sins. All believe in the infallibility of the prophets as receiving, preserving, and propagating the message and mission. Most of them do not allow the prophets to tell lie, but in the case of forgetness (nisyān) they do not abstain from prophets. Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 1327), the Salafist, does not accept the absolute infallibility of the prophets with strong criticism of different religions and like “Hashviyyah” and some of the adherents of ḥadīth (aṣḥāb al-ḥadīth) make infallibility unique to receiving, maintaining and communicating revelation and mission, but otherwise, he does not believe in the infallibility of the prophets before and after the perophecy, and does not differentiate between Muḥammad and the other prophets. Ālūsī (d. 1864) is one of the Sunni commentators and one of the proponents of the absolute infallibility of the prophets. Rather, there is no rationale for converting them to Islam after disbelief, but after prophethood, it is infallible for prophets. On the works and accessories of the Salafi perspective, especially Ibn Taymiyyah and Ālūsī, since the Holy Qur’an has finally been briefly revealed to the general people, if so, many of the teachings and assignments remain vague; Therefore, it is important to understand many of the commandments in the light of tradition; So all Muslims have a consensus on the high status and credibility of the tradition, The denial of the Sunnah is considered to be the essential denial of Islam. Tradition means the Prophet’s speech, deeds and interpretation, but there is a difference in the words, deeds, and interpretations of the Companions. The origin of tradition, It is revelation and the validity of tradition in the words and conduct of the prophets. But the Salafists’ deviation began from where they considered the tradition to be the work of the Prophet and his companions. And then followed Ibn Taymiyyah’s definition of tradition and heresy; they were thus plagued by anti-Semitism, historicity, and denial of the authority and immortality of tradition.
