Aya 160
160
وَقَطَّعناهُمُ اثنَتَي عَشرَةَ أَسباطًا أُمَمًا ۚ وَأَوحَينا إِلىٰ موسىٰ إِذِ استَسقاهُ قَومُهُ أَنِ اضرِب بِعَصاكَ الحَجَرَ ۖ فَانبَجَسَت مِنهُ اثنَتا عَشرَةَ عَينًا ۖ قَد عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُناسٍ مَشرَبَهُم ۚ وَظَلَّلنا عَلَيهِمُ الغَمامَ وَأَنزَلنا عَلَيهِمُ المَنَّ وَالسَّلوىٰ ۖ كُلوا مِن طَيِّباتِ ما رَزَقناكُم ۚ وَما ظَلَمونا وَلٰكِن كانوا أَنفُسَهُم يَظلِمونَ

We divided them into twelve tribes, each a whole community. And when his people demanded drink of him, We revealed our Will to Moses, saying: ‘Strike the rock with your staff. Thereupon twelve springs gushed from the rock and each tribe knew its drinking-place. We caused the clouds to draw their shadow over them and sent down for them manna and quails, saying: ‘Eat of the wholesome things We have given you.’ Indeed they did Us no wrong, but they wronged themselves.
