Surah 21. Al-Anbiya, Ayah 8

Lit., "neither did We fashion them [i.e., those apostles] as bodies that ate no food", implying a denial of any supernatural quality in the prophets entrusted with God's message (cf. 5:75 , 13:38 and 25:20 , as well as the corresponding notes). The above is an answer to the unbelievers' objection to Muhammad's prophethood expressed in verse {3} of this surah.

As men they were subject to all the laws governing the physical bodies of men. They ate and drank, and their bodies perished in death.
