but Allah Almighty protects that individual from sinning. However, in Islam, being infallible means not having the ability to sin.

There are esteemed members of the Prophet’s family who are saints, such as Lady Fāṭimah رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهَا, Imam Ḥasan and Ḥusayn رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُمَا, Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Qādir al-Jīlānī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, and Dātā Ganj Baksh ꜤAlī Hajwerī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه. These noble individuals are protected from sin. Other Sayyids may end up committing a sin, but اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه they will not be punished by virtue of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Here are two statements regarding this topic from the Imam of Ahl al-Sunnah, Imam Aḥmad Razā Khān رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه:

1.   Every Sayyid who actually is from the lineage of Imam Ḥasan and Ḥusayn رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُمَا, is a part of the body of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, and no part of the Prophet’s body is deemed for the fire of Hell.^[1]

2.   There is great hope in the mercy of Allah Almighty that anyone who actually is Sayyid and dies upon faith will not be punished for any sin.^[2]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Protection from Hell

It is narrated from Sayyidunā ꜤAbdullah b. ꜤAbbās رَضِیَ الـلّٰـهُ عَنْهُمَا that when the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم had cupping done, the individual who performed it took his blessed blood behind a wall and drank it. When the Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم asked him what he did with the blood, he answered, “O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! Your blood is blessed, and so I did not find it appropriate to pour it on the ground, so now it is in my stomach.”
