Sending Down the Ma'idah
This is the story of the Ma'idah, the name of which this Surah bears, Surah Al-Ma'idah.
This is also among the favors that Allah granted His servant and Messenger, `Isa, accepting his request to send the Ma'idah down, and doing so as clear proof and unequivocal evidence.
Allah said,
إِذْ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ
(Remember) when Al-Hawaryun said...
the disciples of `Isa said,
يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ هَلْ يَسْتَطِيعُ رَبُّكَ أَن يُنَزِّلَ عَلَيْنَا مَأيِدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاء
O `Isa, son of Maryam! Can your Lord send down to us a Ma'idah from heaven!
The Ma'idah is the table that has food on it.
Some scholars said that;
the disciples requested this table because they were poor and deprived. So they asked `Isa to supplicate to Allah to send a table of food down to them that they could eat from every day and thus be more able to perform the acts of worship.
قَالَ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ إِن كُنتُم مُّوْمِنِينَ
`Isa said:"Have Taqwa of Allah, if you are indeed believers."
`Isa answered them by saying, `Have Taqwa of Allah! And do not ask for this, for it may become a trial for you, but trust in Allah for your provisions, if you are truly believers.
