And when you travel throughout the land, there is no blame upon you for
shortening the prayer, [especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve
may disrupt [or attack] you. Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a
clear enemy.
And when you are among them and lead them in prayer, let a group of them
stand [in prayer] with you and let them carry their arms. And when they
have prostrated, let them be [in position] behind you and have the other
group come forward which has not [yet] prayed and let them pray with you,
taking precaution and carrying their arms. Those who disbelieve wish that
you would neglect your weapons and your baggage so they could come down
upon you in one [single] attack. But there is no blame upon you, if you
are troubled by rain or are ill, for putting down your arms, but take
precaution. Indeed, Allah has prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating
punishment.
And when you have completed the prayer, remember Allah standing, sitting,
or [lying] on your sides. But when you become secure, re-establish
[regular] prayer. Indeed, prayer has been decreed upon the believers a
decree of specified times.
And do not weaken in pursuit of the enemy. If you should be suffering - so
are they suffering as you are suffering, but you expect from Allah that
which they expect not. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise.
