قَالَ عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ ٱللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَآ أَنزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَآئِدَةً مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدًا لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَءَاخِرِنَا وَءَايَةً مِّنكَ وَٱرْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلرَّٰزِقِينَ
Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all five occurrences. Three identical Form I clauses describe the earth swaying with its occupants unless stabilized by mountains. The two noun occurrences identify a provision-bearing spread requested to descend from heaven. The text clearly fixes each local rendering, but it does not state why مَائِدَة belongs to the same movement family; relating the descending spread to movement into place is therefore tentative. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. That family-level bridge remains a segment-linked review point; no protected meaning was edited, and the distinct forms do not support an exact lexical-collision split.
