۞ And recall what time Musa prayed for drink for his people. We said: smite with thy staff the stone. Then there gushed forth thereout twelve springs! every people already knew their drinking-place; eat and drink of the provision of Allah, and commit not evil on the earth as corrupters. 60 When you said, "Moses, we cannot bear to eat only one kind of food, so pray to your Lord to bring forth for us some of the earth's produce, its herbs and cucumbers, its garlic, lentils, and onions." Moses said, "Would you take a lesser thing in exchange for what is better? Go to some town and there you will find all that you demand." Abasement and destitution were stamped upon them, and they incurred the wrath of God, for having rejected His signs, and they killed His prophets unjustly, because they were rebels and transgressors. 61
