Prophet Isa (Jesus) made this dua when his disciples asked for a miracle to strengthen their faith. He asked Allah to send down a table spread (Al-Ma'idah) from heaven as a sign of His power and a source of nourishment.
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا أَنْزِلْ عَلَيْنَا مَائِدَةً مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ تَكُونُ لَنَا عِيدًا لِّأَوَّلِنَا وَآخِرِنَا وَآيَةً مِّنكَ ۖ وَارْزُقْنَا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ
Allahumma Rabbana anzil 'alayna ma'idatam minas-sama-i takunu lana 'eidal li-awwalina wa akhirina wa ayatan minka warzuqna wa Anta khayrur-raziqeen.
O Allah, our Lord, send down to us a table spread from heaven to be a festival for us, for the first and last of us, and a sign from You. And provide for us, and You are the best of providers.
