Maeda 112-115
112- AND AS THE DISCIPLES SAID: “O JESUS THE SON OF MARY, CAN YOUR LORD SEND DOWN TO US A TABLE FROM HEAVEN?” HE SAID: “FEAR ALLAH IF YOU ARE BELIEVERS”
113-THEY SAID: “WE WANT TO EAT FROM THIS TABLE AND FOR OUR HEARTS TO BE ASSURED, AND KNOW THAT YOU TOLD US THE TRUTH AND TO BECOME WITNESSES OVER IT”
114- JESUS THE SON OF MARY SAID: “OUR GOD AND LORD, SEND DOWN TO US A TABLE FROM HEAVENS, WHICH WILL BE A FEAST FOR US, THE EARLY AND LAST OF US, A SIGN FROM YOU, AND PROVIDE US, FOR YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE PROVIDERS”
115- ALLAH SAID: “I WILL SEND IT DOWN TO YOU, BUT SHOULD ANY OF YOU DISBELIEVE AFTERWARDS, I WILL PUNISH HIM SUCH A PUNISHMENT, I DO NOT PUNISH ANY ONE ELSE”.
Allah the Highest is telling us about this incident which happened with Jesus peace be upon him. They asked Jesus peace be upon him to ask Allah the Highest to send them a table of food from heaven. It has been reported that this was after a 30 days fasting, and that they said to Jesus peace upon him that they are always fed by whoever hires them for such a period. The real reason for this request was that they wanted a material proof of his prophecy.
Jesus responded by saying: “FEAR ALLAH IF YOU ARE BELIEVERS” for they should have an unshakable faith after all they heard and seen and after all the miracles, of reviving the dead and healing the sick etc. This is why Jesus peace upon him told them to fear Allah for what they have seen should have been enough.
Jesus peace upon him asked Allah the Highest to send the table down, and Allah the Highest responded to that the same way He responded to the disbelievers in Makkah when they asked Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him to send them down a book and to move the mountains away, and to let there be rivers in Makkah among other things. Allah’s response in both cases was “I WILL SEND IT DOWN TO YOU, BUT SHOULD ANY OF YOU DISBELIEVE AFTERWARDS, I WILL PUNISH HIM SUCH A PUNISHMENT, I DO NOT PUNISH ANY ONE ELSE”.
This request was made by the 12 disciples of Jesus peace upon him and not any followers. Yet they needed more proof, which they were given.
Allah the Highest sent down table or tables, and on them there were fish and bread, and they ate from them and the food never ran out. Some say it was only bread, and others that it was geese. The type of food is irrelevant for it does not make any difference as far as the miracle is concerned.
