Surah Al-Ma'idah — Ayah 112 (5:112)

English translation (Saheeh International)

[And remember] when the disciples said, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, can your Lord¹ send down to us a table [spread with food] from the heaven?" [Jesus] said, "Fear Allāh, if you should be believers."

1. - i.e., will Allāh consent to. (His ability is undoubted.)

Brief commentary

Remember when the disciples said, ‘Can you call on your Lord to send down a table from the sky?’ Jesus (peace be upon him) responded to them by telling them to be mindful of Allah and not to ask for such a thing, as it may prove to be a trial for them. He said to them, ‘Place your trust in your Lord in seeking provision, if you are truly believers’.
