The most distinguished merit of the Ahl al-Bayt (a) is their [[infallibility]] which can clearly be understood from the [[al-Tathir verse]], since in this verse, Ahl al-Bayt (a) are referred to as those whom [[God]] desired to repel all impurity from.

The word "innama" ({{ia|إنّما}}) in this verse [al-Tathir] and the narrations about the context of its [[revelation]] shows that this [being free from all impurities] is among the merits of the Ahl al-Bayt (a) and is unique to them.

The [[Hadith al-Thaqalayn]] is also among [[mutawatir]] [frequently narrated] hadiths in which there is no doubt about its reference. It proves the infallibility of the Ahl al-Bayt (a) of the Prophet (s) (in its very special usage) because, in this hadith,  the Ahl al-Bayt (a) are refered to as al-Thiql al-Asghar [the smaller weight] together with the Qur'an which is [[al-Thiql al-Akbar]] (the greater weight) and they have been considered as the two precious legacies of the Prophet (s) that shall never separate from each other; and if Muslims adhere to them, they will never be misguided. Indeed the [[Qur'an]] is the word of God and no error is in it, "falsehood cannot approach it, from before it nor from behind it." (Qur'an 41:42){{enote|{{ia|لا يَأتيهِ الباطِلُ مِن بَينِ يَدَيهِ وَلا مِن خَلفِهِ}}}} Therefore, the Ahl al-Bayt (a) of the Prophet (s) who are positioned alongside the Qur'an, are free from error and adhering to them prevents going astray from the right path.
