The Holy Quran 23:51 — Surah Al-Mu'minun

Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلرُّسُلُ كُلُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ وَٱعْمَلُوا۟ صَـٰلِحًا ۖ إِنِّى بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ

Translation

(Allaah addressed the Ambiyaa عليه الصلاة والسلام saying,) "O you Rusul! Eat from the pure (good) things and (in gratitude to Me for My provision) do good acts (that please Me). Verily I am Aware of what you do (and will reward you for every good act)." (Although addressed directly to the Ambiyaa عليه الصلاة والسلام, this command applies to the followers of the Ambiyaa عليه الصلاة والسلام as well.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The command to the prophets to eat what is lawful and to do righteous deeds: that is, in the religion of all the prophets there remained this one command: to eat what is lawful, earned by lawful means, and to do good deeds. Good deeds are known to all creation.
