وَاِذِ اسْتَسْقٰى مُوْسٰى لِقَوْمِہٖ فَقُلْنَا اضْرِبْ بِّعَصَاكَ الْحَجَرَ۝۰ۭ فَانْفَجَرَتْ مِنْہُ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَۃَ عَيْنًا۝۰ۭ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ اُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَھُمْ۝۰ۭ كُلُوْا وَاشْرَبُوْا مِنْ رِّزْقِ اللہِ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ مُفْسِدِيْنَ۝۶۰

Ahmed Ali

And remember, when Moses asked for water for his people, We told him to strike the rock with his staff, and behold, twelve springs of gushing water gushed forth so that each of the tribes came to know its place of drinking. Eat and drink, (enjoy) God's gifts, and spread no discord in the land.

وَاِذْ قُلْتُمْ يٰمُوْسٰى لَنْ نَّصْبِرَ عَلٰي طَعَامٍ وَّاحِدٍ فَادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِجْ لَنَا مِـمَّا تُنْۢبِتُ الْاَرْضُ مِنْۢ بَقْلِہَا وَقِثَّـاۗىِٕہَا وَفُوْمِہَا وَعَدَسِہَا وَ بَصَلِہَا۝۰ۭ قَالَ اَتَسْتَبْدِلُوْنَ الَّذِىْ ھُوَاَدْنٰى بِالَّذِىْ ھُوَ خَيْرٌ۝۰ۭ اِھْبِطُوْا مِصْرًا فَاِنَّ لَكُمْ مَّا سَاَلْتُمْ۝۰ۭ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْہِمُ الذِّلَّۃُ وَالْمَسْكَنَۃُ۝۰ۤ وَبَاۗءُوْ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ اؘ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ بِاَنَّھُمْ كَانُوْا يَكْفُرُوْنَ بِاٰيٰتِ اللہِ وَيَقْتُلُوْنَ النَّـبِيّٖنَ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَّكَانُوْا يَعْتَدُوْنَ۝۶۱ۧ

Ahmed Ali

Remember, when you said: "O Moses, we are tired of eating the same food (day after day), ask your Lord to give us fruits of the earth, herbs and cucumbers, grains and lentils and onions;" he said: "Would you rather exchange what is good with what is bad? Go then to the city, you shall have what you ask." So they were disgraced and became indigent, earning the anger of God, for they disbelieved the word of God, and slayed the prophets unjustly, for they transgressed and rebelled.

61

اِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَالَّذِيْنَ ھَادُوْا وَالنَّصٰرٰى وَالصّٰبِـــِٕيْنَ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِاللہِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْاٰخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلَھُمْ اَجْرُھُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّہِمْ۝۰ۚ۠ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْہِمْ وَلَا ھُمْ يَحْزَنُوْنَ۝۶۲
Inna allatheena amanoo waallatheena hadoo waalnnasara waalssabieena man amana biAllahi waalyawmi alakhiri waAAamila salihan falahum ajruhum AAinda rabbihim wala khawfun AAalayhim wala hum yahzanoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Surely the believers and the Jews, Nazareans and the Sabians, whoever believes in God and the Last Day, and whosoever does right, shall have his reward with his Lord and will neither have fear nor regret.

62

وَاِذْ اَخَذْنَا مِيْثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّوْرَ۝۰ۭ خُذُوْا مَاۗ اٰتَيْنٰكُمْ بِقُوَّۃٍ وَّاذْكُرُوْا مَا فِيْہِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُوْنَ۝۶۳
Waith akhathna meethaqakum warafaAAna fawqakumu alttoora khuthoo ma ataynakum biquwwatin waothkuroo ma feehi laAAallakum tattaqoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Remember the day We made the covenant with you and exalted you on the Mount and said: "Hold fast to what We have given you, and remember what is therein that you may take heed."

63

ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ۝۰ۚ فَلَوْ لَا فَضْلُ اللہِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُہٗ لَكُنْتُمْ مِّنَ الْخٰسِرِيْنَ۝۶۴
Thumma tawallaytum min baAAdi thalika falawla fadlu Allahi AAalaykum warahmatuhu lakuntum mina alkhasireena

English

Ahmed Ali

But you went back (on your word), and but for the mercy and grace of God you were lost.

64

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ الَّذِيْنَ اعْتَدَوْا مِنْكُمْ فِى السَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَھُمْ كُوْنُوْا قِرَدَۃً خٰسِـــِٕيْنَ۝۶۵ۚ
Walaqad AAalimtumu allatheena iAAtadaw minkum fee alssabti faqulna lahum koonoo qiradatan khasieena

English

Ahmed Ali

You know and have known already those among you who had broken the sanctity of the Sabbath, and to whom We had said: "Become (like) apes despised,"

65

فَجَــعَلْنٰھَا نَكَالًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْہَا وَمَا خَلْفَہَا وَمَوْعِظَۃً لِّلْمُتَّقِيْنَ۝۶۶
FajaAAalnaha nakalan lima bayna yadayha wama khalfaha wamawAAithatan lilmuttaqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

And whom We made an example for the people (of the day) and those after them, and warning for those who fear God.

66

وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوْسٰى لِقَوْمِہٖۗ اِنَّ اللہَ يَاْمُرُكُمْ اَنْ تَذْبَحُوْا بَقَرَۃً۝۰ۭ قَالُوْۗا اَتَتَّخِذُنَا ھُزُوًا۝۰ۭ قَالَ اَعُوْذُ بِاللہِ اَنْ اَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْجٰہِلِيْنَ۝۶۷
Waith qala moosa liqawmihi inna Allaha yamurukum an tathbahoo baqaratan qaloo atattakhithuna huzuwan qala aAAoothu biAllahi an akoona mina aljahileena

English

Ahmed Ali

Remember, when Moses said to his people: "God demands that you sacrifice a cow," they said: "Are you making fun of us?" And he said: "God forbid that I be of the ignorant."

67

قَالُوا ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّنْ لَّنَا مَا ہِىَ۝۰ۭ قَالَ اِنَّہٗ يَقُوْلُ اِنَّہَا بَقَرَۃٌ لَّا فَارِضٌ وَّلَا بِكْرٌ۝۰ۭ عَوَانٌۢ بَيْنَ ذٰلِكَ۝۰ۭ فَافْعَلُوْا مَا تُـؤْمَرُوْنَ۝۶۸
Qaloo odAAu lana rabbaka yubayyin lana ma hiya qala innahu yaqoolu innaha baqaratun la faridun wala bikrun AAawanun bayna thalika faifAAaloo ma tumaroona

English

Ahmed Ali

"Call on your Lord for us," they said, "that He might inform us what kind she should be." "Neither old nor young, says God, but of age in between," answered Moses. "So do as you are bid."

68

قَالُوا ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّنْ لَّنَا مَا لَوْنُہَا۝۰ۭ قَالَ اِنَّہٗ يَقُوْلُ اِنَّہَا بَقَرَۃٌ صَفْرَاۗءُ۝۰ۙ فَاقِعٌ لَّوْنُہَا تَسُرُّ النّٰظِرِيْنَ۝۶۹
Qaloo odAAu lana rabbaka yubayyin lana ma lawnuha qala innahu yaqoolu innaha baqaratun safrao faqiAAun lawnuha tasurru alnnathireena

English

Ahmed Ali

"Call on your Lord," they said, "to tell us the colour of the cow." "God says," answered Moses, "a fawn coloured cow, rich yellow, well pleasing to the eye."
