Rivers and springs

الأنهار والعيون

Rivers and springs run beneath the Garden and out of the rock of the earth — twelve springs gushed for Israel from the stone — and the Garden's likeness is rivers of water unstaling, rivers of milk, rivers of wine and rivers of honey.

The fish of al-Khidr

The fish Moses and his servant took for provision; at the rock it made its way into the sea in a tunnel — the sign of Moses' meeting with al-Khidr, which Satan made the servant forget to mention.
