 According to Muhammad Jawad Mughniyah (Al-Islam Wa Al-Aql), infallibity is the concept of having a pure soul by virtue of being chosen by Allah.
-Quran 12:53 states that Allah created the human soul and made the human soul susceptible to evil: "Nor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the (human) soul is certainly prone to evil, unless my Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely my Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." In Islam, the relationship between the soul and the body is that of administration and control. The soul can incite evil. If the body commits evil, then it is a sin, and the person is fallible. However, Allah granted an exception for a select few. In their case, the soul does not incite evil, and infallibles never act upon it.

 ==Infallibility of the Prophets==
 Infallibles cannot be tempted by Satan.
-:42: Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators.
-:82-83: [Iblis] said, "By your might, I will surely mislead them all. Except, among them, Your chosen servants.”

 According to Sayed Moustafa Al-Qazwini, deviation or disobedience here is not taken literally. Instead, it means that the “chosen servants” Iblis is referring to are those incapable of being misled and committing sins.
