2:60
Asa (1) (Staff, rod)
The staff of Hazrat Musa is mentioned in ten places in the wise Qur’an. In one of them it is said: "And when Musa asked for water for his people, We said: Strike the rock with your staff! (He struck and) then twelve springs gushed forth from it." (2:60).
Staff = ism-i azam and miracle of Prophethood; revered rock = asas (Hazrat Harun); twelve springs = twelve Hujjats of the asas who were the fountainheads of the water of knowledge; to strike the rock with the staff = to use ism-i azam and the light of Prophethood on the asas.
