Those who remember God while standing, and sitting, and on their sides; and they reflect upon the creation of the heavens and the earth: "Our Lord, You did not create this in vain, glory to You, so protect us from the punishment of the Fire."
What does the Qur'an say about worship when one cannot stand?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 3:191 CARRIED WITH ITS SUBJECT NAMED, AND WITH THE BOARD'S DOUBT RECORDED: the verse describes people who REMEMBER ALLAH, STANDING, SITTING AND RECLINING, AND CONSIDER THE CREATION OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH. Its subject is remembrance and reflection, not the prayer, and the Editor marked its use for this question as an UNCONFIRMED CITE. The rendered text confirms the doubt: the three postures are given as the constancy of remembrance, not as a concession for the infirm.
- 02 4:103 Carried for the same reason and with the same caution: WHEN YE HAVE PERFORMED THE ACT OF WORSHIP, remember Allah, standing, sitting and reclining. The three postures here belong to what comes AFTER the prayer, and the verse says so in its own opening clause. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about praying in fear or in battle? with a different reason.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The Editor proposed these two verses for this question and marked them UNCONFIRMED. Having rendered them, this study reports that the Editor's doubt was right, and says so plainly rather than quietly using the verses anyway.
Both 3:191 and 4:103 contain the same triple - standing, sitting, and reclining on their sides. That phrase is the reason they are ever cited here.
But look at what each verse is doing with it.
3:191 is describing people of understanding who REMEMBER GOD in all three postures AND REFLECT ON THE CREATION of the heavens and the earth. The three postures are there to say that the remembrance never stops, whatever position the person is in. It is a statement about constancy, not about a permitted alternative for someone who cannot stand.
4:103 is even clearer, because it names the prayer separately: "When ye have performed the act of worship" (Pickthall), remember God standing, sitting and reclining. The three postures describe what follows the prayer, not how the prayer may be performed.
So neither verse says what it is commonly cited as saying. The Qur'an, so far as these references go, does not address praying while unable to stand.
What is true - and a reader should not leave this page thinking otherwise - is that the concession itself exists: someone who cannot stand prays sitting, and someone who cannot sit prays lying. It comes from the Prophet's practice and the law built on it, which this platform cannot show you: no collection and no work of fiqh has cleared the rights audit.
The honest report is therefore in two parts, and both belong to a reader. The provision is real and settled. The two verses usually produced for it are about something else, and this study will not stretch them to fit.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 3:191, widening across 2 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.
The versesSource fact 2 passages, each with every cleared translation
2 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

და როდესაც დაასრულებთ ლოცვას, გაიხსენეთ ალლაჰი — მდგომარედ, მჯდომარედ და თქვენს გვერდებზე (დაწოლილნი). ხოლო როდესაც მოიპოვებთ სიმშვიდეს (უსაფრთხოებაში აღმოჩნდებით), აღასრულეთ ლოცვა სრულყოფილად. ჭეშმარიტად, ლოცვა მორწმუნეთათვის დადგენილია (როგორც სავალდებულო) განსაზღვრულ დროს.
Und wenn ihr das Gebet (verrichtet und) vollzogen habt, dann gedenkt Allahs stehend, sitzend und auf euren Seiten (liegend). Wenn ihr dann die (Gemüts)ruhe gefunden habt, so verrichtet das Gebet (wie üblich). Wahrlich, das Gebet ist den Gläubigen zu bestimmten Zeiten vorgeschrieben.
Όταν τελειώσετε την προσευχή, εξυμνείστε τον Αλλάχ (σ' όλες σας τις καταστάσεις), είτε είστε όρθιοι, είτε καθισμένοι, είτε ξαπλωμένοι πλάγια. Αλλά όταν είστε πάλι ασφαλείς, να τελείτε τις προσευχές (ολοκληρωμένες στις καθορισμένες ώρες τους και με τον ολοκληρωμένο τρόπο). Πράγματι, η προσευχή επιβάλλεται στους πιστούς σε καθορισμένες ώρες.
फिर जब तुम नमाज़ पूरी कर लो, तो खड़े और बैठे और लेटे (प्रत्येक स्थिति में) अल्लाह को याद करते रहो और जब तुम भयमुक्त हो जाओ, तो (पहले की तरह) नमाज़ क़ायम करो। निःसंदेह नमाज़ ईमान वालों पर निर्धारित समय पर फ़र्ज़ की गई है।
Quando finite di pregare, lodate Allāh in piedi, seduti e sui fianchi! Se vi sentite abbastanza sicuri, praticate la preghiera con devozione: in verità la preghiera, per i credenti, è stata sempre un obbligo in momenti stabiliti.
103. Pabaigę As-Salat (bendruomeninę maldą), prisiminkite Allahą stovėdami, sėdėdami ir (gulėdami) ant savo šonų, tačiau kai jūs nesate pavojuje, atlikite As-Salat (Ikamat-as-Salat). Iš tiesų, As-Salat (malda) yra įsakyta tikintiesiems nustatytomis valandomis.

Когда вы завершите молитву, то поминайте Аллаха стоя, сидя и лёжа на боках, а когда обретёте спокойствие, то совершайте молитву должным образом. Воистину, молитва для верующих — предписание в установленное время.
А када молитву завршите, Аллаха спомињите, и стојећи, и седећи, и лежећи на боковима. А када будете сигурни, молитву обављајте у потпуности; молитва је, уистину, обавезна верницима у одређеним временским периодима.
Na mkishamaliza Swala, basi mtajeni Mwenyezi Mungu hali ya kuwa mmesimama, na mkikaa, na kwa mbavu zenu. Na mtakapotulia, basi simamisheni Swala. Kwani, hakika Swala juu ya Waumini ni andiko lililowekewa nyakati maalumu.
När ni har fullbordat bönen, prisa då Gud stående, sittande och liggande. Och när ni åter är trygga, förrätta då bönen fullt ut. Bönen är en föreskriven plikt för de troende, bunden till bestämda tider.
Namazı tamamladıktan sonra, ayakta, otururken ve yatarken de Allah’ı zikredin. Emniyete ve sükuna kavuştuğunuz zaman namazı dosdoğru şekliyle kılın. Namaz şüphesiz iman edenlere belirli vakitlerde farz kılınmıştır.

The translators word this verse differently
When you travel in the land, there is no blame on you for shortening the prayers, if you fear that the disbelievers may harm you. The disbelievers are your manifest enemies.
And when ye go forth in the land, it is no sin for you to curtail (your) worship if ye fear that those who disbelieve may attack you. In truth the disbelievers are an open enemy to you
And when ye knock about in the earth, it is no crime to you that ye come short in prayer, if ye fear that those who disbelieve will set upon you; verily, the misbelievers are your obvious foes
And when ye go forth to war in the land, it shall be no crime in you to cut short your prayers, if ye fear lest the infidels come upon you; Verily, the infidels are your undoubted enemies

وَإِذَا كُنتَ فِيهِمْ فَأَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَآئِفَةٌ مِّنْهُم مَّعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوٓا۟ أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ فَإِذَا سَجَدُوا۟ فَلْيَكُونُوا۟ مِن وَرَآئِكُمْ وَلْتَأْتِ طَآئِفَةٌ أُخْرَىٰ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا۟ فَلْيُصَلُّوا۟ مَعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوا۟ حِذْرَهُمْ وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْ وَدَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْ تَغْفُلُونَ عَنْ أَسْلِحَتِكُمْ وَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَيَمِيلُونَ عَلَيْكُم مَّيْلَةً وَٰحِدَةً وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِن كَانَ بِكُمْ أَذًى مِّن مَّطَرٍ أَوْ كُنتُم مَّرْضَىٰٓ أَن تَضَعُوٓا۟ أَسْلِحَتَكُمْ وَخُذُوا۟ حِذْرَكُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا

When you are among them, and you stand to lead them in prayer, let a group of them stand with you, and let them hold their weapons. Then, when they have done their prostrations, let them withdraw to the rear, and let another group, that have not prayed yet, come forward and pray with you; and let them take their precautions and their weapons. Those who disbelieve would like you to neglect your weapons and your equipment, so they can attack you in a single assault. You commit no error, if you are hampered by rain or are sick, by putting down your weapons; but take precautions. Indeed, God has prepared for the disbelievers a demeaning punishment.
And when thou (O Muhammad) art among them and arrangest (their) worship for them, let only a party of them stand with thee (to worship) and let them take their arms. Then when they have performed their prostrations let them fall to the rear and let another party come that hath not worshipped and let them worship with thee, and let them take their precaution and their arms. Those who disbelieve long for you to neglect your arms and your baggage that they may attack you once for all. It is no sin for you to lay aside your arms, if rain impedeth you or ye are sick. But take your precaution. Lo! Allah prepareth for the disbelievers shameful punishment
When thou art amongst them, and standest up to pray with them, then let a party of them stand up with thee, and let them take their arms; and when they adore, let them go behind you, and let another party who have not yet prayed come forward and pray with thee; and let them take their precautions and their arms. Fain would those who misbelieve that ye were careless of your arms and your baggage, that they might turn upon you with a single turning. And it is no crime to you if ye be annoyed with rain or be sick, that ye lay down your arms; but take your precautions,- verily, God has prepared for those who misbelieve a shameful woe
And when thou, O apostle! shalt be among them, and shalt pray with them, then let a party of them rise up with thee, but let them take their arms; and when they shall have made their prostrations, let them retire to your rear: then let another party that hath not prayed come forward, and let them pray with you; but let them take their precautions and their arms. Pleased would the infidels be for you to neglect your arms and your baggage, that they might turn upon you at once! And it shall be no crime in you to lay down your arms if rain annoy you, or if ye be sick. But take your precautions. Verily, God hath made ready a shameful torment for the infidels
But when thou, O prophet, shalt be among them, and shalt pray with them, let a party of them arise to prayer with thee, and let them take their arms; and when they shall have worshipped, let them stand behind you, and let another party come that hath not prayed, and let them pray with thee, and let them be cautious and take their arms. The unbelievers would that 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
4:103 — the verse above
وَلَا تَهِنُوا۟ فِى ٱبْتِغَآءِ ٱلْقَوْمِ إِن تَكُونُوا۟ تَأْلَمُونَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَأْلَمُونَ كَمَا تَأْلَمُونَ وَتَرْجُونَ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَرْجُونَ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًا

And do not falter in the pursuit of the enemy. If you are aching, they are aching as you are aching, but you expect from God what they cannot expect. God is Knowledgeable and Wise.
Relent not in pursuit of the enemy. If ye are suffering, lo! they suffer even as ye suffer and ye hope from Allah that for which they cannot hope. Allah is ever Knower, Wise
And do not give way in pursuit of the people; if ye suffer they shall surely suffer too, even as ye suffer; and ye hope from God, but they hope not! and God is knowing, wise
Slacken not in pursuit of the foe. If ye suffer, assuredly they suffer also as ye suffer; but ye hope from God for what they cannot hope! And God is Knowing, Wise
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

The translators word this verse differently
We have revealed to you the Scripture, with the truth, so that you judge between people in accordance with what God has shown you. And do not be an advocate for the traitors.
Lo! We reveal unto thee the Scripture with the truth, that thou mayst judge between mankind by that which Allah showeth thee. And be not thou a pleader for the treacherous
Verily, we have revealed to thee the Book in truth that thou mayest judge between men of what God has shown thee; so be not with the treacherous a disputant
Verily, we have sent down the Book to thee with the truth, thou that mayest judge between men according as God hath given thee insight: But with the deceitful ones dispute not
We have sent down unto thee the book of the Koran with truth; that thou mayest judge between men through that wisdom which God sheweth thee therein; and be not an advocate for the fraudulent
What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 3:191, 4:103, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verse set was chosen by the Editor before the study was written, and is NOT a search result. No word search was run, because on this question a word search would have found the wrong verses or missed the point of the passage. Every verse in that set was read in full before use and checked against the claim made for it; a verse whose text did not carry that claim was left out rather than forced.
Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
