﴿وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ﴾
[ النحل: 43]
16:43 And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [Our message]. So ask the people of the message if you do not know.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishI did not send before you - O Messenger - except men who were human beings, to whom I sent revelation.
I did not send Messengers that were angels.
This is Our constant practice.
If you all deny that then ask the people of the previous scriptures and they will tell you that Messengers were on;y human beings.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And We sent not (as Our Messengers) before you (O Muhammad SAW) any but men, whom We inspired, (to preach and invite mankind to believe in the Oneness of Allah). So ask of those who know the Scripture [learned men of the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)], if you know not.

And never did Allah send Messengers before you O Muhammad but were men and not angels to whom We inspired Our message. Therefore, you -infidels- may ask those who are well versed in the antecedent Scriptures -Jews and Christians- if indeed you do not know
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(16:43) (O Muhammad!) whenever We sent before you Messengers to whom We revealed Our Messages, they were but human beings. *38 You (people of Makkah) may inquire from the people who possess Admonition *39 if you do not know this yourselves.
And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed meaning
*38) This is the answer to the objection of the mushriks of Makkah (which has not been cited here j that they could not believe that Muhammad (may Allah's peace be upon him), was a Prophet of God, because he was a human being like them. They have been told that the same objection had been raised against all the Prophets who came before him.
*39) "....people who possess Admonition" are the scholars of the people of the Books and others, who, though not scholars in the strict sense had sufficient knowledge of the teachings of the revealed Books and were acquainted with the stories of the former Prophets.
And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed meaning in Urdu
اے محمدؐ، ہم نے تم سے پہلے بھی جب کبھی رسول بھیجے ہیں آدمی ہی بھیجے ہیں جن کی طرف ہم اپنے پیغامات وحی کیا کرتے تھے اہل ذکر سے پوچھ لو اگر تم لوگ خود نہیں جانتے
