The purpose of the present study is to review the outlook of Mullā Sadrā and 'Allāma Tabātabā'i about infallibility of intuitive insight. The method of study is descriptive-analytic and the results showed that in the theory of intuitive insight, Mullā Sadrā raises the theory of perceptive faculty that is in accordance with his theory of substantial motion. Therefore, contrary to the theory of insight via abstraction, intuitive perception is inclined to rational insight. Mullā Sadrā has analyzed this subject by the critique of the theory of Intebā'āt (imprints) and Khorouj-e Sho'ā' (emission of ray). On the other hand, although 'Allāma Tabātabā'i confirms the theory of substantial motion and transformation of the knowledge by acquaintance to the knowledge by presence, in terms of intuitive insight, he believes in the theory of antecedence of basic confirmations and infallibility of intuitive perception. A consequence of this theory is the impact of imaginary perception on the comprehensibility of intuitive perception that is a sort of cause-and-effect relation.
