Surah Al-Anbya — Ayah 8 (21:8)

English translation (Saheeh International)

And We did not make them [i.e., the prophets] forms not eating food,¹ nor were they immortal [on earth].

1. - Like the angels. Rather, they were human beings with human attributes.

Brief commentary

And I did not make the messengers I used to send as bodies which did not eat food. In fact, they used to eat as others eat, and they were not to remain in the world without dying.
