    When thou (O Apostle) Art with them, and standest To lead them in prayer, Let one party of them Stand up (in prayer) with thee, Taking their arms with them: When they finish Their prostrations, let them Take their position in the rear. And let the other party come up Which hath not yet prayed— And let them pray with thee, Taking all precautions, And bearing arms: The Unbelievers wish, If ye were negligent Of your arms and your baggage, To assault you in a single rush. But there is no blame on you If ye put away your arms Because of the inconvenience Of rain or because ye are ill; But take (every) precaution For yourselves. For the Unbelievers God hath prepared A humiliating punishment.
