Sura 7 Al-A'raf (The Heights), ayah 160

  1. وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًا ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ إِذِ اسْتَسْقَاهُ قَوْمُهُ أَنِ اضْرِبْ بِعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ ۖ فَانْبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَشْرَبَهُمْ ۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْغَمَامَ وَأَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوَىٰ ۖ كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَٰكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

    وَقَطَّعْنَٰهُمُ
    And We divided them
    ٱثْنَتَىْ

    (and) ten [i.e. twelve]

    أُمَمًا
    (as) communities.
    وَأَوْحَيْنَآ
    And We inspired
    إِلَىٰ
    to
    مُوسَىٰٓ
    Musa,
    إِذِ
    when
    ٱسْتَسْقَىٰهُ
    asked him for water
    قَوْمُهُۥٓ
    his people,
    أَنِ
    [that]
    ٱضْرِب
    "Strike
    بِّعَصَاكَ
    with your staff
    ٱلْحَجَرَ
    the stone."
    فَٱنۢبَجَسَتْ
    Then gushed forth
    مِنْهُ
    from it
    ٱثْنَتَا
    two
    عَشْرَةَ
    (and) ten [i.e. twelve]
    عَيْنًا
    springs.
    قَدْ
    Certainly,
    عَلِمَ
    knew
    كُلُّ
    each
    أُنَاسٍ
    people
    مَّشْرَبَهُمْ
    their drinking place.
    وَظَلَّلْنَا
    And We shaded
    عَلَيْهِمُ
    [on] them
    ٱلْغَمَٰمَ
    (with) the clouds
    وَأَنزَلْنَا

    ٱلْمَنَّ
    the manna
    وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ
    and the quails.
    كُلُوا۟
    "Eat
    مِن

    طَيِّبَٰتِ
    (the) good things
    مَا
    which
    رَزَقْنَٰكُمْ
    We have provided you."
    وَمَا
    And not
    ظَلَمُونَا
    they wronged Us
    وَلَٰكِن
    but
    كَانُوٓا۟
    they were
    أَنفُسَهُمْ
    (to) themselves
    يَظْلِمُونَ
    doing wrong.

    And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes (as distinct) nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, (saying), "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not, but they were (only) wronging themselves.
