Moses said: "It is my staff; I lean upon it, and I beat down leaves with it for my sheep." Qatada said: "He used to strike the leaves of trees with it." "And I have other uses for it." Qatada said: "Meaning: other needs."
قَالَ مُوسَى: ﴿هِيَ عَصَايَ أَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَيْهَا وَأَهُشُّ بِهَا عَلَى غَنَمِي﴾ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: كَانَ يَخْبِطُ بِهَا وَرَقَ الشَّجَرِ. ﴿وَلِيَ فِيهَا مَآرِبُ أُخْرَى﴾ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: يَعْنِي: حَوَائِجَ
