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)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

And We divided them into twelve tribes as separate groups. And when his people asked him for water, We revealed to Moosa, 'Strike this rock with your staff,' twelve springs therefore gushed forth therefrom; each group recognised their drinking-place. And We provided them with shade from clouds, and sent down upon them Manna and Salwa; 'Eat the good things we have provided you.' And (by disobeying Us) they did not harm Us in the least, but they used to harm themselves.

Commentary

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.
