Surah Al-Anbya — 21:8
Sign in to save
وَمَا جَعَلۡنَٰهُمۡ جَسَدٗا لَّا يَأۡكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُواْ خَٰلِدِينَ
We did not give those messengers ˹supernatural˺ bodies that did not need food, nor were they immortal.
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.
