ye should neglect your arms and your baggage while ye pray, that they might turn upon you at once.  It shall be no crime in you, if ye be incommoded by rain, or be sick, that ye lay down your arms; but take your necessary precaution.  God hath prepared for the unbelievers an ignominious punishment.  And when ye shall have ended your prayer, remember God, standing, and sitting, and lying on your sides.  But when ye are secure from danger, complete your prayers; for prayer is commanded the faithful, and appointed to be said at the stated times.  Be not negligent in seeking out the unbelieving people, though ye suffer some inconvenience; for they also shall suffer, as ye suffer, and ye hope for a reward from God which they cannot hope for; and God is knowing and wise.  We have sent down unto thee the book of the Koran with truth, that thou mayest judge between men through that wisdom which God showeth thee therein; and be not an advocate for the fraudulent; but ask pardon of God for thy wrong intention, since God is indulgent and merciful.  Dispute not for those who deceive one another, for God loveth not him who is a deceiver or unjust.  Such conceal themselves from men, but they conceal not themselves from God; for he is with them when they imagine by night a saying which pleaseth him not, and God comprehendeth what they do.  Behold, ye are they who have disputed for them in this present life; but who shall dispute with God for them on the day of resurrection, or who will become their patron? yet he who doth evil, or injureth his own soul, and afterwards asketh pardon of God, shall find God gracious and merciful.  Whoso committeth wickedness, committeth it against his own soul:  God is knowing and wise.  And whoso committeth a sin or iniquity, and afterwards layeth it on the innocent, he shall surely bear the guilt of calumny and manifest injustice.  If the indulgence and mercy of God had not been upon thee, surely a part of them had studied to seduce thee; but they shall seduce themselves only, and shall not hurt thee at all.  God hath sent down unto thee the book of the Koran and wisdom, and hath taught thee that which thou knewest not; for the favor of God hath been great towards thee.  There is no good in the multitude of their private discourses, unless in the discourse of him who recommendeth alms, or that which is right, or agreement amongst men; whoever doth this out of a desire to please God we will surely give him a great reward.  But whoso separateth himself from the apostle, after true direction hath been manifested unto him, and followeth any other way than that of the true believers, we will cause him to obtain that to which he is inclined, and will cast him to be burned in hell; and an unhappy journey shall it be thither.  Verily God will not pardon the giving him a companion, but he will pardon any crime besides that, unto whom he pleaseth:  and he who giveth a companion unto God, is surely led aside into a wide mistake:  the infidels invoke
