وَ اِذِ اسْتَسْقٰى مُوْسٰى لِقَوْمِهٖ فَقُلْنَا اضْرِبْ بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَؕ-فَانْفَجَرَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَیْنًاؕ-قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ اُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْؕ-كُلُوْا وَ اشْرَبُوْا مِنْ رِّزْقِ اللّٰهِ وَ لَا تَعْثَوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِیْنَ(60)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Remember when Mūsā sought water for his nation, so We said, “Strike the[1] rock with your staff”, then instantly twelve springs gushed forth from it; every tribe[2] came to know their place of drinking, ˹and We said,˺ “Eat and drink ˹from˺ the sustenance of Allah, and do not roam the earth spreading discord.”

Commentary

[1]

This verse proves that the noble Prophets fulfil people’s needs and hence help may be sought from them.

[2]

Causing water to gush forth from a rock was a great miracle of Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, and our Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم making water gush forth from his blessed fingers was an even greater miracle.
