Remember that when Moses prayed for water for his people, We answered, "Strike the rock with your staff": whereupon twelve springs gushed forth from it; the people of every clan came to know their drinking place.

Wherever they were, they were covered with ignominy, except when they were protected by either a covenant with Allah or a covenant with men.

They wronged not Us, but it was themselves that they wronged

Those who do evil deeds, the recompense of an evil deed is its like, and humiliation shall spread over them and there will be none to protect them from Allah.
