وَ قَطَّعْنٰهُمُ اثْنَتَیْ عَشْرَةَ اَسْبَاطًا اُمَمًاؕ-وَ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلٰى مُوْسٰۤى اِذِ اسْتَسْقٰىهُ قَوْمُهٗۤ اَنِ اضْرِبْ بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَۚ-فَانْۢبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَیْنًاؕ-قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ اُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْؕ-وَ ظَلَّلْنَا عَلَیْهِمُ الْغَمَامَ وَ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَیْهِمُ الْمَنَّ وَ السَّلْوٰىؕ-كُلُوْا مِنْ طَیِّبٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنٰكُمْؕ-وَ مَا ظَلَمُوْنَا وَ لٰـكِنْ كَانُوْۤا اَنْفُسَهُمْ یَظْلِمُوْنَ(160)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

And We divided them into twelve tribes forming separate communities. And We sent a revelation to Mūsā, when his nation asked him for water, “Strike the rock with your staff!”[1]Then twelve springs gushed forth from it, every group came to know their place of drinking. And We shaded them with clouds and We sent down upon them Mann and Salwā ˹and stated˺, “Eat from the pure things We have provided you.” And they did not harm Us at all (through transgression), rather they were only incurring loss for themselves.

Commentary

[1]

Although Allah Almighty can grant people anything directly, it is His Law that He gives things to people through others; this verse contains an example of such a scenario where the Israelites asked for water but they did not receive it directly from Allah Almighty, rather, Prophet Mūsā عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام was made an intermediary (wasīlah) for them.
