Quick fact: Mann-o-Salwa was sent down upon the nation of Prophet Musa (علیہ السلام), the Children of Israel.

Explanation

Mann-o-Salwa was a special heavenly food that Allah (SWT) sent down upon the Children of Israel when they were living in the wilderness of Sinai under the leadership of Prophet Musa (علیہ السلام) for forty years. "Mann" was a sweet, dew-like substance, and "Salwa" were birds resembling quails that descended upon them daily. This is mentioned in the Holy Quran in Surah Al-Baqarah, Surah Al-A'raf, and Surah Ta-Ha.

Good to know

When the Children of Israel left Egypt and were with Prophet Musa (علیہ السلام) in the wilderness of Sinai, they asked Allah for food. Allah (SWT) sent down Mann-o-Salwa upon them, which was the best sustenance for them. This event is mentioned in the Holy Quran in Surah Al-Baqarah (verse 57), where their ingratitude is also described, as they demanded various types of food despite this provision.
