English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And when thou art among them, and leadest the Prayer for them, let a party of them stand with thee and let them take their arms. And when they have performed their prostrations, let them go to your rear, and let another party, who have not yet prayed, come forward and pray with thee; and let them take their means of defence and their arms. The disbelievers wish that you be neglectful of your arms and your baggage that they may fall upon you at once. And it shall be no sin on you, if you are in trouble on account of rain or if you are sick, that you lay aside your arms. But you should always take your means of defence. Surely, Allah has prepared an humiliating punishment for the disbelievers.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور جب تُو بھی ان میں ہو اور تُو انہیں نماز پڑھائے تو ان میں سے ایک گروہ (نماز کےلئے) تیرے ساتھ کھڑا ہو جائے۔ اور چاہئے کہ وہ (مجاہدین) اپنا اسلحہ ساتھ رکھیں۔ پس جب وہ سجدہ کر لیں تو وہ تمہارے پیچھے ہوجائیں اور دوسرا گروہ آ جائے جنہوں نے نماز نہیں پڑھی پھر وہ تیرے ساتھ نماز پڑھیں۔ اور وہ اپنے بچاؤ کے سامان اور ہتھیار ساتھ رکھیں۔ جن لوگوں نے کفر کیا ہے وہ چاہتے ہیں کہ کاش تم اپنے ہتھیاروں اور سامان سے غافل ہو جاؤ تو وہ دفعۃً تم پر ٹوٹ پڑیں۔ اور اگر تمہیں بارش کی وجہ سے کوئی مشکل ہو یا تم بیمار ہو تم پر کوئی گناہ نہیں کہ اپنے ہتھیار اتار دو اور اپنا بچاؤ (بہرحال) اختیار کئے رکھو۔ یقیناً اللہ نے کافروں کےلئے بہت رُسوا کرنے والا عذاب تیار کر رکھا ہے۔

French

Et quand tu te trouves parmi eux, et que tu diriges pour eux la Prière, qu’un groupe d’entre eux se mette debout avec toi et qu’ils prennent les armes. Et lorsqu’ils auront fini de se prosterner, qu’ils se retirent à l’arrière, et qu’un autre groupe, qui n’a pas encore prié, s’avance pour prier avec toi ; et qu’ils prennent leurs moyens de défense et leurs armes. Les mécréants voudraient que vous négligiez vos armes et vos bagages afin de pouvoir vous assaillir soudainement. Et si vous êtes gênés par la pluie ou souffrants, ce ne sera pas un péché de votre part de déposer vos armes. En tout cas prenez vos précautions pour votre défense. En vérité, Allāh a préparé pour les mécréants un châtiment humiliant.

German

Und wenn du unter ihnen bist und für sie das Gebet anführst, soll ein Teil von ihnen bei dir stehen, doch sollen sie ihre Waffen aufnehmen. Und wenn sie ihre Niederwerfungen vollführt haben, so sollen sie hinter euch treten, und eine andere Abteilung, die noch nicht gebetet hat, soll vortreten und mit dir beten; doch sollen sie auf ihrer Hut sein und ihre Waffen bei sich haben. Die Ungläubigen sähen es gerne, dass ihr eure Waffen und euer Gepäck außer acht ließet, so dass sie euch plötzlich überfallen könnten. Und es soll keine Sünde für euch sein, wenn ihr, falls ihr durch Regen leidet oder krank seid, eure Waffen ablegt. Seid jedoch (immer) auf eurer Hut. Wahrlich, Allah hat für die Ungläubigen schmähliche Strafe bereitet.

Chinese

当你在他们之间带领他们礼拜时, 他们一组人应当同你一齐站立 (行礼), 并要携带武器。当他们叩了头, 他们 (为了守卫) 要站立在你们的背后, 然后叫还没有礼拜的另一组人来同你礼拜, 并令他们保持防御的工具和武器。那些不信的人希望你们疏忽于自己的武器和物资而突然袭击你们。如果你们因为下雨或疾病而感觉艰难, 那么, 放下武器对于你们是无罪的, 但仍要善加警戒。安拉确为不信者预备了耻辱的惩罚。

Italian

E quando sei in mezzo a loro e dirigi le preghiere per loro, fa' che un gruppo di loro ti stia vicino ed in armi. E una volta che si sono prostrati, mandali alle tue spalle e fanne avanzare un altro gruppo che non ha ancora pregato e fallo pregare con te; e lascia che prendano i loro mezzi di difesa e le loro armi. I miscredenti vogliono che voi trascuriate le vostre armi e i vostri bagagli, sì da potervi piombare addosso all'improvviso. E non vi sarà ascritto a peccato se a causa delle difficoltà dovute alla pioggia, o della malattia, posate le armi. Ma dovreste sempre munirvi di mezzi di difesa. Invero Allah ha preparato un castigo umiliante per i miscredenti.

Spanish

Y cuando estés entre ellos y les dirijas la Oración, que una parte de ellos permanezca de pie contigo y que tomen sus armas. Y cuando hayan realizado las postraciones, que se retiren detrás de ti y que otro grupo, que aún no haya orado, se adelante y ore contigo; y haz que tomen sus medios de defensa y sus armas. Los incrédulos desean que descuidéis vuestras armas y bagajes para poder caer sobre vosotros por sorpresa. Y no pecareis si dejáis vuestras armas porque os molesta la lluvia o estáis enfermos. Pero portad siempre vuestros medios de defensa. En verdad, Al-lah ha preparado un castigo ignominioso para los incrédulos.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور جب تو (خود) ان میں ہو اور تو انہیں نماز پڑھائے تو ان میں سے ایک حصہ جماعت (کو چاہیئے کہ) تیرے ساتھ کھڑے ہوں اور اپنے ہتھیار لے لیں۔ پھر جب وہ سجدہ کر لیں تو وہ تمہارے پیچھے (حفاظت کے لئے) کھڑے ہو جائیں‘ پھر ایک اور حصہ جماعت جس نے نماز نہیں پڑھی (آگے) آجائے اور تیرے ساتھ نماز پڑھے اور وہ بھی اپنے بچاؤ کا سامان اور اپنے ہتھیار لئے رہیں۔ جو لوگ کافر ہیں وہ چاہتے ہیں کہ کاش تم اپنے ہتھیاروں اور اپنے سامانوں سے غافل ہو جاؤ تو وہ یکدم ہی تم پر آپڑیں اور اور اگر بارش کی وجہ سے تمہیں تکلیف ہو یا تم مریض ہو تو اپنے ہتھیار اتار دینے پر تمہیں کوئی گناہ نہ ہوگا۔ لیکن پھر بھی تمام احتیاطیں کرلو۔ اللہ نے کافروں کے لئے رسوا کر دینے والا عذاب یقیناً تیار کر چھوڑا ہے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And when thou art among them, and leadest the Prayer for them, let a party of them stand with thee and let them take their arms. And when they have performed their prostrations, let them go to your rear, and let another party, who have not yet prayed, come forward and pray with thee,[660] and let them take their means of defence and their arms.[661] The disbelievers wish that you were neglectful of your arms and your baggage that they may fall upon you at once. And it shall be no sin for you, because of the inconvenience caused by rain or because you are sick, that you lay aside your arms. But you should always take your precautions. Surely, Allah has prepared an humiliating punishment for the disbelievers.

Commentary:

Whereas the preceding verse spoke of the Prayer in time of fear in the case of individuals, the present one gives the details of the manner of its performance when the Faithful are in the form of a company or group and the Prayer is to be performed in congregation. Apparently the Holy Prophet alone seems to have been addressed here, but really the verse possesses general application. When a Muslim army is about to say their Prayer in congregation, half of them should say the Prayer with the Imam, carrying their arms, and the other half should stand facing the enemy, to fight him or repulse his attack, as the case may be. When the first half have finished one Rak‘at, they should retire to take the place of those who are facing the enemy. The latter should then come forward and say one Rak‘at with the Imam.

As many as eleven different ways in which these Prayers were said on different occasions are described in the Hadith(for details see Al-Bahrul-Muhit). In some cases, each of the two parties said only one Rak‘at of Prayer, while the Imam said two. In other cases, each of the parties said two Rak‘at, one Rak‘at with the Imam and the other alone, thus all saying two Rak‘at. On yet other occasions each of the two parties said two rak‘at of Prayer with the Imam, the Imam himself having said four Rak‘at—two Rak‘at with each party. These different methods were observed in different circumstances. If the danger was great, each of the parties said only one Rak‘at of Prayer with the Imam while the Imam himself said two; but if the danger was not so great, each party said two Rak‘ats while the Imam said four. Again, methods varied with the varying position of the army. If the enemy, for instance, was in front of the Imam, the congregation followed a method different from that which they followed on other occasions.

To sum up, whereas Prayer in a state of simple journey consists of two Rak‘ats in such Prayers as ordinarily consist of four Rak‘ats, the Prayer in time of fear may assume different forms, the more important being:

(a) Splitting up the worshippers into two parties, each party either saying one part of its Prayer with the Imam and then retiring, or saying one part of its Prayer with the Imam and the other part separately, the number of Rak‘ats performed by the worshippers being either one or two as the case may be (the present verse);

(b) Shortening the duration of Prayers only (the preceding verse);

(c) Doing away with all form and repeating the words of Prayer while walking, running or riding (2:240).

The verse observes a difference between: اسلحة (arms) and حذر (means of defence or simply precautions). Whereas the former may be put aside in moments of comparative security, the latter should always be adhered to and never neglected. See also 4:72.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اور اے نبیؐ! جب تم مسلمانوں کے درمیان ہو اور (حالت جنگ میں) انہیں نماز پڑھانے کھڑے ہو تو چاہیے کہ ان میں سے ایک گروہ تمہارے ساتھ کھڑا ہو اور اسلحہ لیے رہے، پھر جب وہ سجدہ کر لے تو پیچھے چلا جائے اور دوسرا گروہ جس نے ابھی نماز نہیں پڑھی ہے آکر تمہارے ساتھ پڑھے اور وہ بھی چوکنا رہے اور اپنے اسلحہ لیے رہے، کیوں کہ کفار اِس تاک میں ہیں کہ تم اپنے ہتھیاروں اور اپنے سامان کی طرف سے ذرا غافل ہو تو وہ تم پر یکبارگی ٹوٹ پڑیں البتہ اگر تم بارش کی وجہ سے تکلیف محسوس کرو یا بیمار ہو تو اسلحہ رکھ دینے میں کوئی مضائقہ نہیں، مگر پھر بھی چوکنے رہو یقین رکھو کہ اللہ نے کافروں کے لیے رسوا کن عذاب مہیا کر رکھا ہے

English - Sahih

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.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اے نبی جب تم مسلمانو ں میں موجود ہو اور انہیں نماز پڑھانے کے لیے کھڑا ہو تو چاہیئے ان میں سے ایک جماعت تیرے ساتھ کھڑی ہو اور اپنے ہتھیار ساتھ لے لیں پھر جب یہ سجدہ کریں تو تیرے پیچھے سے ہٹ جائیں اور دوسری جماعت آئے جس نے نماز نہیں پڑھی وہ تیرے ساتھ نماز پڑھتے اور وہ بھی اپنے بچاؤ اور اپنے ہتھیار ساتھ رکھیں کافر چاہتے ہیں کہ کسی طرح تم اپنے ہتھیاروں اور اسباب سے بے خبر ہو جاؤ تاکہ تم پر یک بارگی ٹوٹ پڑیں اور اگر تم بارش کی وجہ سے تکلیف محسوس کرو یا بیمار ہو تو ہتھیار رکھ دینے میں کوئي مضائقہ نہیں اور (تب بھی) اپنا بچاؤ ساتھ رکھو بے شک الله نے کافروں کے لیے ذلت کا عذاب تیار کر رکھا ہے

English - Talal Itani

And when you are among them and you lead for them the prayer, then let stand a group of them with you and let them take their arms. Then when they have prostrated, then let them be from behind you and let come (forward) a group - other, (which has) not prayed, and let them pray with you and let them take their precautions and their arms. Wished those who disbelieved if you neglect [about] your arms and your baggage, so (that) they (can) assault [upon] you (in) an attack, single. But (there is) no blame upon you if was with you any trouble (because) of rain or you are sick that you lay down your arms, but take your precautions. Indeed, Allah has prepared for the disbelievers a punishment humiliating.

English - Arberry

When thou art amongst them, and performest for them the prayer, let a party of them stand with thee, and let them take their weapons. When they bow themselves, let them be behind you; and let another party who have not prayed come and pray with thee, taking their precautions and their weapons. The unbelievers wish that you should be heedless of your weapons and your baggage, then they would wheel on you all at once. There is no fault in you, if rain molests you, or you are sick, to lay aside your weapons; but take your precautions. God has prepared for the unbelievers a humbling chastisement.

English - Maududi

(O Messenger!) If you are among the believers and rise (in the state of war) to lead the Prayer for them, let a party of them stand with you to worship, keeping their arms. When they have performed their prostration, let them go behind you, and let another party who have not prayed, pray with you, remaining on guard and keeping their arms, for the unbelievers love to see you heedless of your arms and your baggage so that they might swoop upon you in a surprise attack. But there shall be no blame upon you if you were to lay aside your arms if you are either troubled by rain or are sick; but remain on guard. Surely Allah has prepared a humiliating chastisement for the unbelievers.

English - Ahmed Ali

When you are among them, and have to lead the service of prayer, let one group stand up with you, but let them keep their arms. After they have paid their homage they should go to the rear, and let the group which has not done so yet offer their service of prayer with you, remaining cautious and armed, The infidels wish to find you neglectful of your arms and provisions, to attack you unawares. It will not be a sin if you put aside your arms when you are troubled by rain, or you are ill; but take full precautions. God has reserved for infidels a despicable punishment

English - Yusuf Ali

When thou (O Messenger) 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 precaution, 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 Allah hath prepared a humiliating punishment.

English - Pickthall

And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them, let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped and let them worship with thee, and let them take their precaution and their arms. Those who disbelieve long for you to neglect your arms and your baggage that they may attack you once for all. It is no sin for you to lay aside your arms, if rain impedeth you or ye are sick. But take your precaution. Lo! Allah prepareth for the disbelievers shameful punishment.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And when thou art among them and leadest the prayer for them, let a party of them stand up with thee, and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their prostration, let them go to your rear, and let another party who have not prayed come forward and pray with thee, and let them take their precautions and their arms. Those who disbelieve long that you may neglect your arms and your baggage, that they may attack you with a sudden united attack. And there is no blame on you, if you are inconvenienced on account of rain or if you are sick, to put away your arms; and take your precautions. Surely Allah has prepared abasing chastisement for the disbelievers.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

If in such case thou art among them and leadest them in Prayer, let a party of them stand with thee and let them take their arms. When they have performed their prostrations, let them go to your rear to stand guard, and let another party, who have not yet prayed come forward and pray with thee, and let them also take their precautions for defence and their arms. The disbelievers wish that you be neglectful of your arms and your baggage that they may fall upon you suddenly. It shall be no sin on you, if you are inconvenienced by rain or you are sick, that you lay aside your arms; but always take your precautions for defence. Surely, Allah has prepared an humiliating chastisement for the disbelievers.
