And when you have been among them Then establish the prayer for them And a group among them should stand with you And should hold their arms ready to use if needed
Then when they have prostrated then they get behind you And another non-praying group should come forward And pray with you And take their precaution and their arms
And those who disbelieved have loved that you be careless About your arms and your belongings So that they attack upon you One mighty-big attack
And no sin is upon you if You have been struck with hardship from rain Or you have been sick That you put down your arms
But always take your precaution Surely Allah has prepared for the disbelievers A humiliating punishment
