The infallibility of the Prophets, including Prophet Muhammad, is a discourse that has become a discourse in the Islamic scholarly tradition. Each scholar has his thoughts about the discourse, including al-Tabarsi. Al-Tabarsi defends the discourse on the infallibility of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, and this is an implication of the theology of the Shi'a school of thought he adheres to; the impression is obtained in his interpretation of Qs. Al-Fath/48: 2. this study tries to take a critical approach to al-Tabarsi's interpretation of the concept of the infallibility of the Prophet Muhammad Saw by using the theory of tafsir criticism developed by Muhammad Ulinnuha which includes three aspects: criticism of the mufassir's personality, methodological criticism, and criticism of the product of interpretation. The research method used is qualitative in the form of library research. The results of this study indicate that in terms of the mufassir's personality, al-Tabarsi is a mufassir from the Shi'a, and in the Muqaddimah of his Tafsir the tendency to include arguments from the Shi'a is visible. As for methodological criticism, the source of interpretation listed by al-Tabarsi is the history of Ahl al-Bait, which is full of Shi'a tendencies, and in terms of criticism of interpretative products, al-Tabarsi is inconsistent in interpreting Dhamir Kaf, and al-Tabarsi's theological construction regarding the infallibility of the Prophet Muhammad Saw was used to support the infallibility of the Shi'a imams and this is full of Shi'a ideological tendencies.
