وما ارسلنا قبلك من المرسلين الا انهم لياكلون الطعام ويمشون في الاسواق وجعلنا بعضكم لبعض فتنة اتصبرون وكان ربك بصيرا

And the apostles whom We Sent before thee were all (Men) who ate food And walked through the streets: We have made some of you As a trial for others: Will ye have patience? For God is One Who Sees (all things).
