Al-Baqarah (The Cow)
Surah 2 · Verse 60
And when Musa asked for water for his people, We said, “Strike the (porous) rock {9} with your staff.” So twelve springs gushed out from it. All persons came to know their drinking place. “Eat and drink from the provision of Allah but do not spread disturbance in the earth, being corrupt.”
Same as Verse No. 57
Hijaratun:
The word hajrun means stone, to prohibit, to stop, to protect etc, and the word hujratun means, a room. In view of this hijaratun could mean a porous rock which can hold water (acquifier).
