BisMillaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim
In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful
وَإِذِ ٱسْتَسْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِۦ فَقُلْنَا ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْحَجَرَ فَٱنفَجَرَتْ مِنْهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ كُلُوا۟وَٱشْرَبُوا۟ مِن رِّزْقِ ٱللَّهِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ (60

60. And when Moses asked for water for
his people, We said: Smite with thy staff the rock. So there gushed out
therefrom twelve springs (so that) each tribe knew their drinking-place. Eat
and drink of that which Allah hath provided, and do not act corruptly, making
mischief in the earth.

Commentary
‘Asaa – (staff,
stick, club), It has been mentioned in many verses of Holy Qur’aan about
the stick of Prophet Moses (peace be upon Him). This stick was bestowed to Him
as a miracle. To cross the sea, a path was appeared by this stick, twelve
springs began to flow by smiting the rock of stone with this staff, and it
swallowed the snakes and scorpions of the magicians of Pharaoh after becoming a
dragon.
‘Isnataa ‘ashrata
‘aynaa – (twelve springs) after wandering confused in the desert
and barren wilderness of the peninsula of Sinai, the
Children of Israel reached such place where water did not exist. When
after searching they did not find water; they enraged upon the Prophet Moses
(peace be upon Him). The Prophet (peace be upon Him) prayed from God Almighty.
He was commanded that he should smite the rock with His staff, so twelve springs
gushed out there-from (so that) each tribe might know their drinking-place.
It was the favor
of God Almighty only that they were provided the water in a dry desert and were
commanded, “Eat and drink of that which Allah hath provided, and do not spread
mischief and dissension in the earth”.
It is found from
this narration that whenever we do not see any support or source for eating and
drinking, God, the Most High arranges and provides eatables and drinkable with His
Mercy and Omnipotence. It is the duty of human being that he should beg
from Him only and he should not be hopeless from His Mercy. Allah Almighty is
“the Merciful and the Kind”. If any individual disobeys, he gets loss for
himself only and which the wrath is descended; that is due to his own evildoing.
