Sura 2
Aya 60
60
۞ وَإِذِ استَسقىٰ موسىٰ لِقَومِهِ فَقُلنَا اضرِب بِعَصاكَ الحَجَرَ ۖ فَانفَجَرَت مِنهُ اثنَتا عَشرَةَ عَينًا ۖ قَد عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُناسٍ مَشرَبَهُم ۖ كُلوا وَاشرَبوا مِن رِزقِ اللَّهِ وَلا تَعثَوا فِي الأَرضِ مُفسِدينَ

Mir Aneesuddin

And when Musa asked for water for his people, We said, “Strike the (porous) rock1 with your staff.” So twelve springs gushed out from it. All persons came to know their drinking place. “Eat and drink from the provision of Allah but do not spread disturbance in the earth, being corrupt.”
  • Hijaratun: The word hajrun means stone, to prohibit, to stop, to protect etc, and the word hujratun means, a room. In view of this hijaratun could mean a porous rock which can hold water (acquifier).
