۞وَإِذِ
And when
asked (for) water
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
لِقَوۡمِهِۦ
for his people
فَقُلۡنَا
[so] We said
Strike
بِّعَصَاكَ
with your staff
the stone
فَٱ نف َجَرَتۡ
Then gushed forth
مِنۡهُ
from it
(of)

Indeed

knew
كُلُّ
all
أُنَاسٍ
(the) people
their drinking place
كُلُواۡ
Eat
وَٱ شۡرَبُواۡ
and drink

from
(the) provision (of)
Allah
وَلَا
and (do) not
تَعۡثَوۡاۡ
act wickedly

٦٠spreading corruption
And [recall] when Moses prayed for water for his people, so We said, "Strike with your staff the stone." And there gushed forth from it twelve springs, and every people [i.e., tribe] knew its watering place. "Eat and drink from the provision of Allāh, and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."
2:61
وَإِذۡ
And when
قُلۡتُمۡ
you said
يَـٰ مُوسَىٰ
O Musa
لَن
Never (will)
we endure
عَلَىٰ
[on]
طَعَامٍ
food
(of) one (kind)
so pray
لَنَا
for us
رَبَّكَ
(to) your Lord
يُخۡرِجۡ
to bring forth
لَنَا
for us
مِمّ َا
out of what
تُنۢب ِتُ
grows
the earth
مِنۢ
of
its herbs
وَقِثَّا ٓئِهَا
[and] its cucumbers
وَفُومِهَا
[and] its garlic
وَعَدَسِهَا
[and] its lentils
وَبَصَلِهَاۖ
and its onions
قَالَ
He said
أَتَسۡتَبۡ دِلُونَ
Would you exchange
that which
هُوَ
[it]
أَدۡ نَىٰ
(is) inferior
بِٱ لَّذِى
for that which
هُوَ
[it]
خَيۡرٌۚ
(is) better
Go down
مِصۡرًا
(to) a city
so indeed
لَكُم
for you
(is) what
سَأَلۡتُمۡۗ
you have asked (for)
وَضُرِبَتۡ
And were struck
عَلَيۡهِمُ
on them
the humiliation
وَٱ لۡمَسۡكَنَةُ
and the misery
وَبَا ٓءُو
and they drew on themselves
بِغَضَبٍ
wrath
of
Allah
ذٰ لِكَ
That (was)
بِأَنّ َهُمۡ
because they
كَانُواۡ
used to
يَكۡفُرُونَ
disbelieve
بِـَٔـايَـٰ تِ
in (the) Signs
(of) Allah
وَيَقۡ تُلُونَ
and kill
the Prophets
بِغَيۡرِ
without (any)
[the] right
ذٰ لِكَ
That
بِمَا
(was) because
عَصَواۡ
they disobeyed
وَّكَانُواۡ
and they were
يَعۡتَدُو نَ
٦١transgressing
And [recall] when you said, "O Moses, we can never endure one [kind of] food. So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allāh [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allāh and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.
