Umm Muhammad (Sahih International):
The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven.

Abdel Haleem:
The People of the Book demand that you [Prophet] make a book physically come down to them from heaven, but they demanded even more than that of Moses when they said, ‘Show us God face to face,’ and were struck by the thunderbolt for their presumption.

Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall:
The people of the Scripture ask of thee that thou shouldst cause an (actual) Book to descend upon them from heaven.
