Quran 7: 159. Among the people of Moses is a community that guides by truth, and thereby does justice. 160. We divided them into twelve tribal communities. And We inspired Moses, when his people asked him for something to drink: Strike the rock with your staff. Whereupon twelve springs gushed from it. Each group recognized its drinking-place. And We shaded them with clouds, and We sent down upon them manna and quails: Eat of the good things We have provided for you. They did not wrong Us, but they used to wrong their own selves. 161. And it was said to them, Settle this town, and eat therein whatever you wish, and speak modestly, and enter the gate in humility-We will forgive your sins, and will promote the righteous. 162. But the wicked among them substituted other words for the words given to them; so We sent down upon them a plague from the sky, because of their wrongdoing. 163. Ask them about the town by the sea, when they violated the Sabbath. When they observed the Sabbath, their fish would come to them abundantly. But when they violated the Sabbath, their fish would not come to them. Thus We tried them because they disobeyed. 164. And when a group of them said, Why do you counsel a people whom God will annihilate, or punish with a severe punishment? They said, As an excuse to your Lord, and so that they may become righteous. 165. Then, when they neglected what they were reminded of, We saved those who prohibited evil, and We seized those who did wrong with a terrible punishment, because of their sinfulness. 166. Then, when they rebelled against the commands to refrain, We said to them, Be despicable apes. 167. Your Lord has announced that, He would send against them, until the Day of Resurrection, those who would inflict terrible suffering upon them. Your Lord is swift in retribution, yet He is Forgiving and Merciful. 168. And We scattered them into communities on earth. Some of them righteous, and some of them short of that. And We tested them with fortunes and misfortunes, so that they may return.
