Verse 102

وَإِذَا And when كُنتَ you are فِيهِمْ among them فَأَقَمْتَ and you lead لَهُمُ for them ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ the prayer فَلْتَقُمْ then let stand طَآئِفَةٌۭ a group مِّنْهُم of them مَّعَكَ with you وَلْيَأْخُذُوٓا۟ and let them take أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ their arms فَإِذَا Then when سَجَدُوا۟ they have prostrated فَلْيَكُونُوا۟ then let them be مِن from وَرَآئِكُمْ behind you وَلْتَأْتِ and let come (forward) طَآئِفَةٌ a group أُخْرَىٰ other لَمْ (which has) not يُصَلُّوا۟ prayed فَلْيُصَلُّوا۟ and let them pray مَعَكَ with you وَلْيَأْخُذُوا۟ and let them take حِذْرَهُمْ their precautions وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْ ۗ and their arms وَدَّ Wished ٱلَّذِينَ those who كَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved لَوْ if تَغْفُلُونَ you neglect عَنْ [about] أَسْلِحَتِكُمْ your arms وَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْ and your baggage فَيَمِيلُونَ so (that) they (can) assault عَلَيْكُم [upon] you مَّيْلَةًۭ (in) an attack وَٰحِدَةًۭ ۚ single وَلَا But (there is) no جُنَاحَ blame عَلَيْكُمْ upon you إِن if كَانَ was بِكُمْ with you أَذًۭى any trouble مِّن (because) of مَّطَرٍ rain أَوْ or كُنتُم you are مَّرْضَىٰٓ sick أَن that تَضَعُوٓا۟ you lay down أَسْلِحَتَكُمْ ۖ your arms وَخُذُوا۟ but take حِذْرَكُمْ ۗ your precautions إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah أَعَدَّ has prepared لِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ for the disbelievers عَذَابًۭا a punishment مُّهِينًۭا humiliating ١٠٢

And when you [i.e., the commander of an army] 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, Allāh has prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment.
