Surah 2. Al-Baqara, Ayah 239
| فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ فَرِجَالًا أَوْ رُكْبَانًا ۖ فَإِذَا أَمِنْتُمْ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَمَا عَلَّمَكُمْ مَا لَمْ تَكُونُوا تَعْلَمُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | fa- 'in khiftum fa- rijaal(an) 'aw rukbaan(an) fa- 'idhaa 'amintum fa- udhkuro 'allaah ka-maa callama -kum maa lam takono taclamon |
| Pickthall | : | And if ye go in fear, then (pray) standing or on horseback. And when ye are again in safety, remember Allah, as He hath taught you that which (heretofore) ye knew not. |
| Asad | : | But if you are in danger, [pray] walking or riding;228 and when you are again secure, bear God in mind - since it is He who taught you what you did not previously know. |
| Malik | : | If you are in danger, pray on foot or while riding; and when you are safe, remember Allah in the manner that He has taught you which you did not know before. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | If ye fear (an enemy) pray on foot or riding (as may be most convenient) but when ye are in security celebrate Allah's praises in the manner He has taught you which ye knew not (before). 272 |
Note - 228This relates to any dangerous situation - for instance,
in war - where remaining for any length of time at one
place would only increase the peril: in such an event,
the obligatory prayers may be offered in any way that is
feasible, even without consideration of the qiblah.

Note - 272Verses 238-39 are parenthetical, introducing the subject
of prayer in danger. This is more fully dealt with in iv.
101-03.
