\n Then Ali ibn Muhammad ibn AI-Jahm stood up and asked, \u2018O son of the Prophet of Allah -asws ! Do you believe in the Infallibility of the Prophets -as ?\u2019 \u2018Yes,\u2019 replied the Imam -asws . \n He said, \u2018Then what do you have to say about the following Verses?

what do you have to say about what the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj said, \u2018 … Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced (20:121) ; and about what the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj said, \u2018And remember Thun-nun (Yunus-Jonah), when he departed in wrath: He imagined that We had no power over him!

(21:87) , and about what the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj Told Joseph -as , \u2018 And (with passion) did she desire him, and he would have desired her .(12:24) \n And about what the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj told David (s), \u2018 and David gathered that We had tried him .(38:24)..

\u00a0 , and about what the Sublime (Allah -azwj ) told His -saww \u2018 … But thou didst hide in thy heart that which Allah was about to make manifest … (33:37) \n Al-Reza -asws said, \u2018Woe be to you! Fear Allah -azwj . Do not ascribe transgressions to the Prophets -as , and do not interpret Allah -azwj \u2019s Book according to your own opinion. Indeed the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj said, \u2018 … but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah -azwj .

And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge … ,(3:7) And regarding His -azwj Words about Adam, \u2018 … Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced ,(20:121) it must be noted that the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj Created Adam -as as His -azwj Proof on Earth, and as His -azwj Successor in the towns. \n However, Allah -azwj had not created Adam for Paradise and Adam -as \u2019s act of disobedience occurred in Paradise, not on the Earth.

Adam -as \u2019s being Infallible was a must for him -as to fully implement the Decrees of Allah -azwj . Once he -as was sent down to the Earth as Allah -azwj \u2019s Proof and Successor, he -as was Infallible according to what the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj said, \u2018 Allah did Choose Adam and Noah, the family of Abraham, and the family of Imran above all people.

(3:33) And regarding the Honourable the Exalted Allah -azwj \u2019s Words, \u2018And remember Thun-noon (Jonah), when he departed in wrath: He imagined that We had no power over him!
