This Is My Faith - Al-fatlawi, Ali - الصفحة ٢٥٧ - the Imams (PBUT)?
(O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Apostle and those in authority from among you)٤;٥٩.
This Holy Verse includes only those who are infallible, namely the Prophet (PBUH) and the Pure Imams (PBUT) whose purity and infallibility we proved earlier.
Anwar: If we admit that the Imams (PUBT) are ‘the holy trustees’ or ‘people in authority’ (Wali Al-Amr), why doesn’t anyone else share this with them?
Hasan: Because no one except them is infallible. The others accepted this fact, and the evidence to infallibility of the offspring of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), the Pure Imams (PBUT), has already been presented.
Anwar: Why was infallibility stated as a condition for a person in authority (Wali Al-Amr)?
Hasan: You tell me why!
Anwar: I can say if the person in authority were not infallible, there would be a possibility that they make mistakes and commit sins, a fact that might, as a result, cause the followers to go astray.
