Look at verses 6 & 7 in Sura al-Dhuha and how they’re translated (most English translations are the same on this point). Notice how the translations (and comments in brackets) seem to contradict the Prophet’s infallibility; he was orphaned & lost then guided.. [1/6] 
That apparent contradiction has caused much debate and confusion, and has even led Sunni Muslims to unanimously claim that his infallibility does not extend to the period prior to being appointed as messenger, or worse, that it is limited to his message only.
Shi’a scholars have maintained the absolute infallibility of all prophets, in a way that’s in line even with these verses. Books like Sharif al-Murtadha’s Tanzih al Anbiya were authored to do just that. What is very interesting is how the Imams of the Shi’a interpret these verses
Contrary to how the mainstream understand these verses, they assert the inerrant nature of the Prophet. Here’s a great example of why we believe only the Ahlulbayt can interpret the Quran such that there is no confusion or ambiguity:
Imam Redha on the verse: “Did He not find you an orphan and give refuge?”, he said, “He found you singular (Yateem; incomparable, unique) so he gave refuge to people within you.
And on the next verse, “And He found you lost, so he guided” the Imam said, “He found you lost among your people, so He guided them to knowing you”.
