وَإِذَا
كُنتَ
فِيهِمْ
فَأَقَمْتَ
لَهُمُ
الصَّلَاةَ
فَلْتَقُمْ
طَائِفَةٌ
مِّنْهُم
مَّعَكَ
وَلْيَأْخُذُوا
أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ
فَإِذَا
سَجَدُوا
فَلْيَكُونُوا
مِن
وَرَائِكُمْ
وَلْتَأْتِ
طَائِفَةٌ
أُخْرَى
لَمْ
يُصَلُّوا
فَلْيُصَلُّوا
مَعَكَ
وَلْيَأْخُذُوا
حِذْرَهُمْ
وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْ
وَدَّ
الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
لَوْ
تَغْفُلُونَ
عَنْ
أَسْلِحَتِكُمْ
وَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْ
فَيَمِيلُونَ
عَلَيْكُم
مَّيْلَةً
وَاحِدَةً
وَلَا
جُنَاحَ
عَلَيْكُمْ
إِن
كَانَ
بِكُمْ
أَذًى
مِّن
مَّطَرٍ
أَوْ
كُنتُم
مَّرْضَى
أَن
تَضَعُوا
أَسْلِحَتَكُمْ
وَخُذُوا
حِذْرَكُمْ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
أَعَدَّ
لِلْكَافِرِينَ
عَذَابًا
مُّهِينًا

(Muhammad), if you are among them (your followers during a battle) and you call them for prayer, let a group of them carry their arms during prayer. After they have made their prostrations, let them go back to watch the enemy and let the other group who has not yet prayed, join you, carrying their arms with due precaution. The unbelievers would love to find you neglecting your arms and property and would attack you suddenly. If rain or illness make you suffer, you may place your arms aside during prayer but still observe due precaution. God has prepared a humiliating torment for the unbelievers.
