surah Ibrahim aya 11 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿قَالَتْ لَهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ إِن نَّحْنُ إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَمُنُّ عَلَىٰ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ۖ وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا أَن نَّأْتِيَكُم بِسُلْطَانٍ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ﴾
[ إبراهيم: 11]
14:11 Their messengers said to them, "We are only men like you, but Allah confers favor upon whom He wills of His servants. It has never been for us to bring you evidence except by permission of Allah. And upon Allah let the believers rely.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishIn response to them, their messengers said: We are people like you, so we are not blaming you for imitating your forefathers in that respect.
Just because you are people, it does not mean that you should imitate them in everything.
Amongst His servants, Allah bestows unique favors on whomever He wishes, so He will choose some to be messengers to mankind.
It is forbidden for us to grant you whatever evidence you desire, except if Allah so chooses.
It is not within our power to bring you such evidence; instead, Allah alone is the One capable of doing so.
Those who entrust all of their affairs to Allah will have trust in Him.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Their Messengers said to them: "We are no more than human beings like you, but Allah bestows His Grace to whom He wills of His slaves. It is not ours to bring you an authority (proof) except by the Permission of Allah. And in Allah (Alone) let the believers put their trust.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
Their messengers said to them: "True, we are human like yourselves, but Allah doth grant His grace to such of his servants as He pleases. It is not for us to bring you an authority except as Allah permits. And on Allah let all men of faith put their trust.
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
Their Messengers said to them: "We are no more than human beings like you, but Allah bestows His grace to whom He wills of His servants. It is not ours to bring you an authority (proof) except by the permission of Allah. And in Allah (alone) let the believers put their trust."

قالت لهم رسلهم إن نحن إلا بشر مثلكم ولكن الله يمن على من يشاء من عباده وما كان لنا أن نأتيكم بسلطان إلا بإذن الله وعلى الله فليتوكل المؤمنون
سورة: إبراهيم - آية: ( 11 ) - جزء: ( 13 ) - صفحة: ( 257 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Their Messengers said to them: But we are only mortals like you and Allah imparts His grace to those of His worshippers whom He chooses as He will, and it is not for us nor is it within our power to present you with the evidence but with Allahs delegated power and authorization. And in Allah do those whose hearts have been touched with the divine hand put their trust
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(14:11) They answered, "You are no more than human beings like ourselves. *19 You intend to debar us from the worship of the deities whom our forefathers have been worshipping. Well, bring a clear Sign. " *20 The Messengers replied, "It is true that we are no more than human beings like you, but Allah shows His favour to anyone of His servants He pleases. *21 And it is not in our power to bring any Sign for you. A Sign can come only by Allah's permission. And in Allah alone should the believers put their trust.
Their messengers said to them, "We are only men like you, but meaning
*19) The disbelievers meant to imply: "You are a human being like us in every respect: you eat, drink and sleep like us and have wife and children like us. You feel hungry and thirsty, and suffer from heat and cold, disease and calamities like us. In short, you have every human limitation like us, and we see nothing unusual and extraordinary in you to induct us to accept you as a Prophet and believe that God communicates with you and sends His angels to you."
*20) That is, "If you still insist that you are a Prophet, bring a tangible proof of your appointment so as to convince us that you have really been sent by God and your Message is from Him."
*21) That is, "No doubt we are human beings like you but it is Allah's will that He has chosen us from among you and blessed us with the knowledge of the Truth and keen discernment. And this is Allah's will and He has full powers to bestow anything on anyone He wills. We are not in a position to ask Him to send that blessing to you or to anyone else: nor can we deny the realities which have been shown to us."
Their messengers said to them, "We are only men like you, but meaning in Urdu
ان کے رسولوں نے ان سے کہا "واقعی ہم کچھ نہیں ہیں مگر تم ہی جیسے انسان لیکن اللہ اپنے بندوں میں سے جس کو چاہتا ہے نوازتا ہے اور یہ ہمارے اختیار میں نہیں ہے کہ تمہیں کوئی سند لا دیں سند تو اللہ ہی کے اذن سے آسکتی ہے اور اللہ ہی پر اہل ایمان کو بھروسہ کرنا چاہیے
