so (that) they (can) assault
(in) a state of cermonial impurity
O ye who believe! Approach not prayers with a mind befogged, until ye can understand all that ye say,- nor in a state of ceremonial impurity (Except when travelling on the road), until after washing your whole body. If ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands. For Allah doth blot out sins and forgive again and again.
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.
O ye who believe! when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces, and your hands (and arms) to the elbows; Rub your heads (with water); and (wash) your feet to the ankles. If ye are in a state of ceremonial impurity, bathe your whole body. But if ye are ill, or on a journey, or one of you cometh from offices of nature, or ye have been in contact with women, and ye find no water, then take for yourselves clean sand or earth, and rub therewith your faces and hands, Allah doth not wish to place you in a difficulty, but to make you clean, and to complete his favour to you, that ye may be grateful.
Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy): read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah's Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
信道的人们啊!你们在酒醉的时候不要礼拜,直到你们知道自己所说的是什么话;除了过路的人以外,在不洁的时候不要入礼拜殿,直到你们沐浴。如果你们有病,或旅行,或入厕,或性交,而不能得到水,那末,你们可趋向洁净的地面,而摩你们的脸和手。真主确是至恕的,确是至赦的。
当你在他们之间,而你欲带领他们礼拜的时候,教他们中的一队人同你立正,并教他们携带武器。当他们礼拜的时候,叫另一队人防守在你们后面;然后,教还没有礼拜的那一队人来同你礼拜,教他们也要谨慎戒备,并携带武器。不信道的人,希望你们忽视你们的武器和物资,而乘机袭击你们。如果你们为雨水或疾病而感觉烦难,那末,放下武器对于你们是无罪的。你们当谨慎戒备。真主确已为不信道的人而预备凌辱的刑罚。
信道的人们啊!当你们起身去礼拜的时候,你们当洗脸和手,洗至于两肘,当摩头,当洗脚,洗至两踝。如果你们是不洁的,你们就当洗周身。如果你们害病或旅行,或从厕所来,或与妇女交接,而得不到水,你们就当趋向清洁的地面,而用一部分土摩脸和手。真主不欲使你们烦难,但他欲使你们清洁,并完成他所赐你们的恩典,以便你们感谢。
你的主的确知道你礼拜的时间,不到全夜的三分之二,或二分之一,或三分之一。你的同道中,有一群人也是那样做的。真主预定黑夜和白昼的长度,他知道你们不能计算它,故赦宥你们。你们应当诵《古兰经》中简易的(文辞)。他知道你们中将有一些病人,和别的许多人,或旅行四方,寻求真主的恩惠;或为真主而作战,故你们应当讽诵其中简易的(文辞)。你们应当谨守拜功,完纳天课,并以善债借给真主。你们为自己做什么善事,都将在真主那里得到更好更大的报酬。你们应当向真主求饶,真主是至赦的,是至慈的。
