In which Surah is the concept of Uswah Hasana (the best example) of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) mentioned?

Explanation

The term "Uswah Hasana" appears in Surah Al-Ahzab (33:21), where Allah says: "Indeed, in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example (Uswah Hasana) for whoever hopes in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah often." This verse establishes the Prophet's (PBUH) life, character, and conduct as the ideal model for all believers to follow in every aspect of life. The same phrase is also used for Prophet Ibrahim (AS) in Surah Al-Mumtahinah (60:4), but the most well-known reference for the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is in Surah Al-Ahzab.
