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.
