The answer

The Ummah (Muslim community) has reached a consensus, and the texts of the Holy Quran affirm the humanity of the prophets, and that they are subject to illness, hunger, forgetfulness, and fulfilling their needs. They eat, drink, sleep, marry, have children, walk in the marketplaces, and need everything that humans need. As Allah Almighty said: ﴿Say, "I am only a human being like you, to whom revelation is sent"﴾, and He, the Exalted, said: ﴿And We did not send before you any messengers but that they indeed ate food and walked in the marketplaces﴾. Similarly, the prophetic hadiths clearly indicate this, such as the : "I am only a human being like you; I remember as you remember and I forget as you forget."
