آيات AYAT.ONE
وَاِذَا كُنۡتَ فِيۡهِمۡ فَاَقَمۡتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ فَلۡتَقُمۡ طَآٮِٕفَةٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ مَّعَكَ وَلۡيَاۡخُذُوۡۤا اَسۡلِحَتَهُمۡ فَاِذَا سَجَدُوۡا فَلۡيَكُوۡنُوۡا مِنۡ وَّرَآٮِٕكُمۡ وَلۡتَاۡتِ طَآٮِٕفَةٌ اُخۡرٰى لَمۡ يُصَلُّوۡا فَلۡيُصَلُّوۡا مَعَكَ وَلۡيَاۡخُذُوۡا حِذۡرَهُمۡ وَاَسۡلِحَتَهُمۡ​ ۚ وَدَّ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا لَوۡ تَغۡفُلُوۡنَ عَنۡ اَسۡلِحَتِكُمۡ وَاَمۡتِعَتِكُمۡ فَيَمِيۡلُوۡنَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مَّيۡلَةً وَّاحِدَةً​ ؕ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ اِنۡ كَانَ بِكُمۡ اَ ذًى مِّنۡ مَّطَرٍ اَوۡ كُنۡـتُمۡ مَّرۡضٰۤى اَنۡ تَضَعُوۡۤا اَسۡلِحَتَكُمۡ​ ۚ وَ خُذُوۡا حِذۡرَكُمۡ​ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اَعَدَّ لِلۡكٰفِرِيۡنَ عَذَابًا مُّهِيۡنًا‏ ۝

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.
