Islamic doctrine, as articulated in the Qurʾān and the traditions of the Infallible Imams (peace be upon them), affirms that divine prophets are divinely preserved from sin and endowed with the attribute of ʿiṣmah (infallibility). A superficial reading of certain Qurʾānic passages, however, appears to challenge this principle. Notably, Qurʾān 38:17–24 references the repentance and seeking of forgiveness by Prophet David (peace be upon him), which at first glance seems incompatible with prophetic infallibility. This study undertakes a comparative analysis of Shiʿi and Sunni exegetical traditions concerning the term naʿjah in verse 24 of Sūrah Ṣād, seeking to reconcile the doctrine of prophetic infallibility with the apparent narrative of error. Drawing upon Sunni sources—Maqātil ibn Sulaymān, Jāmiʿ al-Bayān (al-Ṭabarī), and Al-Durr al-Manthūr (al-Suyūṭī)—as well as Shiʿi tafsīrs such as Al-Qummī, Nūr al-Thaqalayn, Al-Burhān, Al-Ṣāfī, and Al-Mīzān, the analysis reveals that certain interpreters’ rendering of naʿjah as “woman” has given rise to interpretations influenced by Isrāʾīliyyāt (Judaic traditions) and passages derived from the Torah. While this study does not claim to resolve all scholarly doubts on this matter, it represents a systematic effort to clarify certain ambiguities surrounding this verse. Given the nature of the research, the study relies on existing library sources, documentary evidence, and textual analysis as necessary for the investigation.
