قَالَ هِىَ عَصَاىَ أَتَوَكَّؤُا۟ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَىٰ غَنَمِى وَلِىَ فِيهَا مَـَٔارِبُ أُخْرَىٰ

Translation

He (Moosa عليه الصلاة والسلام) replied "It is my staff. I (occasionally) lean on it, I (sometimes) use it to beat down leaves for my goats (to graze on) and (besides this) I have many other uses for it."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
