And when Moses asked for water for his people , We said : Smite with thy staff the rock . And there gushed out therefrom twelve springs ( so that ) each tribe knew their drinking place . Eat and drink of that which Allah hath provided , and do not act corruptly , making mischief in the earth . {Surah Baqara, Verse 60}
It is narrated on the authority of Thabit that Anas said: We were forbidden in the Holy Qur'an that we should ask about anything from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and then Anas reported the hadith in similar words.
