5:88
Tayyibat (Lawful and pure things, pure women, spiritual nourishment, intellectual nourishment)
Tayyibat has four meanings: (i) Those things which are lawful as well as pure, which the Qur'an calls halalan tayyiba (5:88). (ii) Pure women who are mentioned in the verse (24:26). (iii) Spiritual nourishment in the form of fragrances, etc., a clear example of which is the "smell of Yusuf" (12:94). (iv) Intellectual nourishment, an example of which is "manna and quails" (2:57), in which lie the great secrets of the Universal Intellect and the Universal Soul. Thus, it is mentioned in verse (23:57): "O you messengers, eat of pure things and do good deeds." It is obvious that these bounties are specifically for the Prophets and the Imams.
