Comprehensive Interpretation

الآية رقم (113) - قَالُواْ نُرِيدُ أَن نَّأْكُلَ مِنْهَا وَتَطْمَئِنَّ قُلُوبُنَا وَنَعْلَمَ أَن قَدْ صَدَقْتَنَا وَنَكُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ

(113) - (They said, "We wish to eat from it and let our hearts be reassured and know that you have been truthful to us and be among its witnesses.")

The disciples answered Prophet Jesus (PBUH) by saying:

“Firstly: It will be our provision which we want to eat from.

Secondly: We will get reassurance by looking at the way it was sent down.” Thus, it would strengthen their faith.

( وَنَكُونَ عَلَيْهَا مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ… ) (…and be among its witnesses.”): i.e., it will serve as a miracle for everyone which we have become witnesses for.
