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.
Does the Qur'an say how many units each prayer has?
In short
- The text says: there is no blame in shortening the prayer when travelling, or going forth to war, in fear of attack (4:101); in danger the prayer is said in two groups, each in turn (4:102); and the prayers, and the middle prayer, are to be guarded (2:238).
- The text does not say: how many units, or bowings, any prayer has.
- The rest comes from: a report that the prayer was first enjoined as two units, both at home and on a journey, and that the prayer of those at home was later increased is in Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 8: Prayers (Salat) (Bukhari 350).

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.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The text speaks of the prayer being shortened, and gives no length to shorten from. At 4:101 Itani has "there is no blame on you for shortening the prayers", and Rodwell has "to cut short your prayers". No verse gives a count.
The counts many readers know come from outside the Qur'an. A report named above, with a link, says the prayer began as two units and was later increased for those at home.
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 rests on
Opens with 4:101, widening across 3 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.

Когда вы путешествуете по земле, то нет на вас греха, если вы сократите молитву, — если вы опасаетесь, что вас подвергнут искушению те, кто отверг веру. Воистину, отвергшие веру — для вас явный враг.

Anyone who emigrates for the sake of God will find on earth many places of refuge, and plentitude. Anyone who leaves his home, emigrating to God and His Messenger, and then is overtaken by death, his compensation falls on God. God is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful
Whosoever flees in the way of God shall find in the earth many a spacious refuge; and he who goes forth from his house, fleeing unto God and His prophet, and then death catches him up,- his hire devolves on God, and God is forgiving and merciful
Whoever flieth his country for the cause of God, will find in the earth many under like compulsion, and abundant resources; and if any one shall quit his home and fly to God and his apostle, and then death overtake him, - his reward from God is sure: for God is Gracious, Merciful
Whosoever flieth from his country for the sake of God's true religion, shall find in the earth many forced to do the same, and plenty of provisions. And whoever departeth from his house, and flieth unto God and his apostle, if death overtake him in the way, God will be obliged to reward him, for God is gracious and merciful

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.

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

When you have completed the prayer, remember God, standing, or sitting, or on your sides. And when you feel secure, perform the prayer. The prayer is obligatory for believers at specific times.
When ye have performed the act of worship, remember Allah, standing, sitting and reclining. And when ye are in safety, observe proper worship. Worship at fixed times hath been enjoined on the believers
But when ye have fulfilled your prayer, remember God standing and sitting and lying on your sides; and when ye are in safety then be steadfast in prayer; verily, prayer is for the believers prescribed and timed
And when ye shall have ended the prayer, make mention of God, standing, and sitting, and reclining: and as soon as ye are secure, observe prayer; for to the faithful, prayer is a prescribed duty, and for stated hours
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 prayer; for prayer is commanded the faithful, and appointed to be said at the stated times

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

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

Kur të jesh në mesin e tyre dhe t'u prish në namaz, le të falet një grup nga ata me ty dhe le t'i mbajnë armët. Kur ta kryejnë sexhden, ata le të dalin pas jush (për të vazhduar namazin pa imam) dhe le të vijë grupi tjetër që nuk është falur, le të falen me ty, por le të kenë kujdes dhe le t'i mbajnë armët. Jobesimtarët do të dëshironin të shkujdeseshit nga armët dhe pajisjet tuaja, që t'ju sulmojnë përnjëherë. Nuk keni gjynah t'i lëshoni armët nëse ju mundon shiu ose jeni të sëmurë, por rrini në gatishmëri! Vërtet, Allahu ka përgatitur për jobesimtarët dënim poshtërues.
আর (হে নবী!) যখন তুমি তাদের (মুসলিম সৈন্যদের ) মধ্যে থাকবে, অতঃপর তাদের সাথে নিয়ে সালাতে দাঁড়াবে, তখন যেন তাদের মধ্য থেকে একদল তোমার সাথে দাঁড়ায় (৪৪) এবং তারা (সালাতে) তাদের অস্ত্র সাথে রাখবে। এরপর যখন তারাসাজদাহ করে ফেলবে, তখন তারা যেন তোমাদের পেছনে অবস্থান নেয়। আর অপর একটি দল যারা এখনো সালাত আদায় করেনি তারা যেন তোমার সাথে এসে সালাত আদায় করে এবং তারা যেন তাদের সতর্কতা অবলম্বন করে ও অস্ত্র সাথে রাখে। কারণ, কাফিররা কামনা করে, যদি তোমরা তোমাদের অস্ত্রশস্ত্র ও আসবাবপত্র সম্বন্ধে অসতর্ক হও, তাহলে তারা তোমাদের ওপর একসাথে ঝাঁপিয়ে পড়বে। আর যদি বৃষ্টির কারণে তোমাদের কোন কষ্ট হয় অথবা তোমরা অসুস্থ হও, তাহলে অস্ত্র রেখে দিলে তোমাদের কোন দোষ নেই। আর তোমরা তোমাদের সতর্কতা অবলম্বন করবে। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ কাফিরদের জন্য প্রস্তুত করে রেখেছেন লাঞ্ছনাদায়ক শাস্তি।
Kada ti budeš među njima i budeš ih u namazu predvodio, neka jedna grupa s tobom klanja i neka svoje oružje uzmu; i dok budu na sedždi, neka drugi budu iza vas, a onda neka dođe druga grupa koja nije klanjala i neka s tobom klanjaju, ali neka drže oružje svoje i oprezni budu. Nevjernici jedva čekaju da vi zanemarite oružje svoje i opremu svoju, pa da na vas svi odjednom navale. A ako vam bude smetala kiša ili budete bolesni, nije vam grijeh oružje svoje odložiti, ali, oprezni budite. Allah je, doista, nevjernicima ponižavajuću patnju pripremio.

Und wenn du unter ihnen bist und nun für sie das Gebet leitest, dann soll sich eine Gruppe von ihnen mit dir aufstellen, doch sollen sie ihre Waffen nehmen. Wenn sie (also die Betenden) sich dann niedergeworfen haben, sollen sie hinter euch treten, und eine andere Gruppe, die noch nicht gebetet hat, soll (nach vorne) kommen. Und sie sollen dann (auch) mit dir beten; doch sollen sie auf der Hut sein und ihre Waffen nehmen. Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, möchten, dass ihr eure Waffen und eure Sachen außer Acht lasst, so dass sie euch überfallen (können). Und es ist kein Vergehen für euch, wenn ihr unter Regen zu leiden habt oder krank seid, dass ihr eure Waffen ablegt. Aber seid auf eurer Hut. Wahrlich, Allah bereitet für die Ungläubigen schmachvolle Strafe.
Όταν είσαι (ω, Προφήτη) μαζί με τους (πιστούς στη μάχη) και τους οδηγείς στην προσευχή, (ας χωρίσεις το στρατό σε δύο ομάδες, και έτσι,) ας σταθεί μια ομάδα απ' αυτούς μαζί σου (στην προσευχή), κουβαλώντας τα όπλα τους (ενώ η άλλη ομάδα να σας προστατεύσει). Όταν τελειώσουν (όσοι είναι στη πρώτη ομάδα) μία Ράκ‘α (μονάδα προσευχής, με τον Ιμάμη, θα έχουν έτσι τελειώσει την προσευχή τους και), ας πηγαίνουν από πίσω σας (προς τη μεριά των εχθρών), και ας έρθει η άλλη ομάδα που δεν τέλεσε ακόμη την προσευχή, και ας τελέσουν μαζί σου την προσευχή (τελώντας μαζί σου την τελευταία Ράκ‘α, και έπειτα να συνεχίσουν μόνοι τους την προσευχή τους για άλλη μία Ράκ‘α), και ας προσέχουν κουβαλώντας τα όπλα τους. Εύχονται οι άπιστοι να παραμελήσετε τα όπλα και τα υπάρχοντά σας, ώστε να εξαπολύσουν μια αιφνιδιαστική επίθεση εναντίον σας. Αλλά δεν υπάρχει αμαρτία σ' εσάς, εάν αφήσετε τα όπλα σας (και δεν τα κουβαλήσετε) όταν κάτι σας βλάπτει από βροχή ή είστε άρρωστοι. Αλλά ας προσέχετε! Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ έχει ετοιμάσει για τους άπιστους ένα ταπεινωτικό μαρτύριο.
तथा (ऐ नबी!) जब आप (युद्ध के मैदान में) उनके साथ मौजूद हों और उनके लिए नमाज़[69] क़ायम करें, तो उनका एक गिरोह आपके साथ खड़ा हो जाए और वे अपने हथियार लिए रहें और जब वे सज्दा कर लें, तो तुम्हारे पीछे हो जाएँ तथा दूसरा गिरोह आए, जिसने नमाज़ नहीं पढ़ी है और वे तुम्हारे साथ नमाज़ पढ़ें और अपने हथियार लिए सावधान रहें। काफ़िर चाहते हैं कि तुम अपने हथियारों और अपने सामान से असावधान हो जाओ, तो तुमपर यकायक धावा बोल दें। तथा तुमपर कोई दोष नहीं, यदि वर्षा के कारण तुम्हें कष्ट हो अथवा तुम बीमार हो कि अपने हथियार उतार दो तथा अपने बचाव का ध्यान रखो। निःसंदेह अल्लाह ने काफ़िरों के लिए अपमानकारी अज़ाब तैयार कर रखा है।
Se fossi tra di loro e dovessi praticare la preghiera con devozione, che un gruppo si alzi con te e tenga le armi; e quando si prosternano, che loro siano dietro di voi; poi venga un altro gruppo, che non ha pregato, e preghi insieme a te. E che prendano le loro precauzioni e le loro armi: i miscredenti vogliono che vi distraiate dalle vostre armi e dai vostri averi per annientarvi una volta per tutte. E non c’è peccato per voi, se vi capita una forte pioggia o se siete malati, di deporre le armi, e prendere le vostre precauzioni: in verità Allāh ha preparato per i miscredenti una punizione umiliante.
102. O kai tu (Muchammedai ﷺ ) esi tarp jų ir vedi juos As-Salat (maldoje), lai viena jų dalis stovi [Salat (maldoje)] su tavimi, pasiėmę ginklus. Kai jie pabaigia savo suklupimą, lai jie užima vietą užnugaryje ir lai ateina kita jų dalis, kuri dar nesimeldė, ir lai jie meldžiasi su tavimi, laikydamiesi visų atsargumo priemonų ir laikydami ginklus. Tie, kurie netiki, trokšta, jums esant aplaidiems su savo ginklais ir savo kariuomenės vežiojamu turtu, užpulti jus vienu puolimu. Tačiau, nėra jums nuodėmės sudėti savo ginklus, jei nepatogu dėl lietaus arba jei jūs sergate, tačiau laikykitės visų atsargumo priemonių dėl savęs. Iš tiesų, Allahas paruošė žeminančią bausmę netikintiesiems.

Когда ты будешь находиться среди них и руководить для них молитвой, пусть часть из них станет с тобой, и пусть они возьмут своё оружие. Когда же они падут ниц, пусть они будут позади вас. Затем пусть придёт другая часть, которая ещё не молилась, и пусть они совершат молитву вместе с тобой, и пусть они будут настороже и возьмут своё оружие. Те, которые отвергли веру, хотели бы, чтобы вы пренебрегли своим оружием и своими припасами, и тогда они обрушились бы на вас одним натиском. И нет греха на вас, если из-за затруднения от дождя или по болезни вы отложите своё оружие; но будьте настороже. Воистину, Аллах уготовил отвергшим веру унизительное наказание.
Када ти будеш међу њима и будеш их предводио у молитви, нека једна група са тобом клања и нека своје оружје узму; и док буду лицем на тло, нека други буду иза вас, а онда нека дође друга група која није клањала и нека са тобом клањају, али нека држе оружје своје и нека опрезни буду. Неверници једва чекају да ви занемарите оружје своје и опрему своју, па да на вас сви одједном навале. А ако вам буде сметала киша или будете болесни, није вам грех да оружје своје одложите, али, опрезни будите. Аллах је, заиста, неверницима припремио понижавајућу патњу.
Na unapokuwa miongoni mwao, na ukawasimamishia Swala, basi kundi moja miongoni mwao lisimame pamoja nawe, na wachukue silaha zao. Na watakapomaliza kusujudu, basi na wawe nyuma yenu, na lije kundi lingine ambalo halijaswali, na waswali pamoja nawe, nao wachukue hadhari yao na silaha zao. Walipenda wale waliokufuru lau mghafilike mbali na silaha zenu na mizigo yenu ili wawavamie mvamio wa mara moja. Wala hakuna ubaya juu yenu ikiwa mnaona udhia kwa sababu ya mvua au mkawa wagonjwa, mkaziweka silaha zenu. Na chukueni hadhari yenu. Hakika, Mwenyezi Mungu amewaandalia makafiri adhabu ya kudunisha.
Och när du är bland dem och leder dem i bön, låt då en grupp stå med dig och bära sina vapen. När de har fullbordat sitt nedfall på ansiktet, låt dem då ställa sig bakom er, och låt den andra gruppen, som ännu inte har bett, komma fram och be med dig. De ska vara vaksamma och bära sina vapen. De otrogna önskar att ni lade ifrån er era vapen och er utrustning, så att de kunde slå ut er i ett svep. Men ni gör inget fel om ni, besvärade av regn eller sjukdom, lägger ifrån er vapnen. Var dock på er vakt! Gud har förberett ett förnedrande straff för de otrogna.
Sen (savaş meydanında) onların aralarında olup da namazlarını kıldırdığın zaman, bir kısmı seninle beraber namaza dursun ve silahlarını da yanlarına alsınlar; secdeyi yaptıktan sonra onlar arkanıza geçsinler;kılmayan öbür kısım gelsin, seninle beraber kılsınlar, tedbirli olsunlar, silahlarını alsınlar. Kâfirler arzu ederler ki, silâhlarınızdan ve eşyanızdan bir gafil olsanız da size ani bir baskın yapsalar. Eğer yağmur dolayısıyla size bir eziyet/zorluk olursa veya hasta olursanız silahlarınızı bırakmanızda bir günah yoktur. Yine de tedbirli olun. Allah, Kâfirlere aşağılayıcı bir azap hazırlamıştır.
جب تم ان میں ہو اور ان کے لئے نماز کھڑی کرو تو چاہئے کہ ان کی ایک جماعت تمہارے ساتھ اپنے ہتھیار لئے کھڑی ہو، پھر جب یہ سجده کر چکیں تو یہ ہٹ کر تمہارے پیچھے آجائیں اور وه دوسری جماعت جس نے نماز نہیں پڑھی وه آجائے اور تیرے ساتھ نماز ادا کرے اور اپنا بچاؤ اور اپنے ہتھیار لئے رہے، کافر چاہتے ہیں کہ کسی طرح تم اپنے ہتھیاروں اور اپنے سامان سے بے خبر ہو جاؤ تو وہ تم پر اچانک دھاوا بول دیں[1] ، ہاں اپنے ہتھیار اتار رکھنے میں اس وقت تم پر کوئی گناه نہیں جب کہ تمہیں تکلیف ہو یا بوجہ بارش کے یا بسبب بیمار ہو جانے کے اور اپنے بچاؤ کی چیزیں ساتھ لئے رہو، یقیناً اللہ تعالیٰ نے منکروں کے لئے ذلت کی مار تیار کر رکھی ہے۔

Anyone who emigrates for the sake of God will find on earth many places of refuge, and plentitude. Anyone who leaves his home, emigrating to God and His Messenger, and then is overtaken by death, his compensation falls on God. God is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
Whoso migrateth for the cause of Allah will find much refuge and abundance in the earth, and whoso forsaketh his home, a fugitive unto Allah and His messenger, and death overtaketh him, his reward is then incumbent on Allah. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful
Whosoever flees in the way of God shall find in the earth many a spacious refuge; and he who goes forth from his house, fleeing unto God and His prophet, and then death catches him up,- his hire devolves on God, and God is forgiving and merciful
Whoever flieth his country for the cause of God, will find in the earth many under like compulsion, and abundant resources; and if any one shall quit his home and fly to God and his apostle, and then death overtake him, - his reward from God is sure: for God is Gracious, Merciful
Whosoever flieth from his country for the sake of God's true religion, shall find in the earth many forced to do the same, and plenty of provisions. And whoever departeth from his house, and flieth unto God and his apostle, if death overtake him in the way, God will be obliged to reward him, for God is gracious and merciful

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
When ye march to war in the earth, it shall be no crime in you if ye shorten your prayers, in case ye fear the infidels may attack you; for the infidels are your open enemy

When you have completed the prayer, remember God, standing, or sitting, or on your sides. And when you feel secure, perform the prayer. The prayer is obligatory for believers at specific times.
When ye have performed the act of worship, remember Allah, standing, sitting and reclining. And when ye are in safety, observe proper worship. Worship at fixed times hath been enjoined on the believers
But when ye have fulfilled your prayer, remember God standing and sitting and lying on your sides; and when ye are in safety then be steadfast in prayer; verily, prayer is for the believers prescribed and timed
And when ye shall have ended the prayer, make mention of God, standing, and sitting, and reclining: and as soon as ye are secure, observe prayer; for to the faithful, prayer is a prescribed duty, and for stated hours
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 prayer; for prayer is commanded the faithful, and appointed to be said at the stated times

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

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

You commit no error by divorcing women before having touched them, or before having set the dowry for them. And compensate them-the wealthy according to his means, and the poor according to his means-with a fair compensation, a duty upon the doers of good.
It is no sin for you if ye divorce women while yet ye have not touched them, nor appointed unto them a portion. Provide for them, the rich according to his means, and the straitened according to his means, a fair provision. (This is) a bounden duty for those who do good
It is no crime in you if ye divorce your women ere you have yet touched them, or settled for them a settlement. But provide maintenance for them; the wealthy according to his power, and the straitened in circumstances according to his power, must provide, in reason;- a duty this upon the kind
It shall be no crime in you if ye divorce your wives so long as ye have not consummated the marriage, nor settled any dowry on them. And provide what is needful for them he who is in ample circumstances according to his means, and he who is straitened, according to his means - with fairness: This is binding on those who do what is right
It shall be no crime in you, if ye divorce your wives, so long as ye have not touched them, nor settled any dowry on them. And provide for them -- he who is at his ease must provide according to his circumstances, and he who is straitened according to his circumstances -- necessaries, according to what shall be reasonable. This is a duty incumbent on the righteous

If you divorce them before you have touched them, but after you had set the dowry for them, give them half of what you specified-unless they forego the right, or the one in whose hand is the marriage contract foregoes it. But to forego is nearer to piety. And do not forget generosity between one another. God is seeing of everything you do.
If ye divorce them before ye have touched them and ye have appointed unto them a portion, then (pay the) half of that which ye appointed, unless they (the women) agree to forgo it, or he agreeth to forgo it in whose hand is the marriage tie. To forgo is nearer to piety. And forget not kindness among yourselves. Allah is Seer of what ye do
And if ye divorce them before ye have touched them, but have already settled for them a settlement; the half of what ye have settled, unless they remit it, or he in whose hand is the marriage tie remits it; and that ye should remit is nearer to piety, and forget not liberality between you. Verily, God on what ye do doth look
But if ye divorce them before consummation, and have already settled a dowry on them, ye shall give them half of what ye have settled, unless they make a release, or he make a release in whose hand is the marriage tie. But if ye make a release, it will be nearer to piety. And forget not generosity in your relations one towards another; for God beholdeth your doings
But if ye divorce them before ye have touched them, and have already settled a dowry on them, ye shall give them half of what ye have settled, unless they release any part, or he release part in whose hand the knot of marriage is; and if ye release the whole, it will approach nearer unto piety. And forget not liberality among you, for God seeth that which ye do

Those of you who die and leave wives behind-a will shall provide their wives with support for a year, provided they do not leave. If they leave, you are not to blame for what they do with themselves, provided it is reasonable. God is Mighty and Wise.
(In the case of) those of you who are about to die and leave behind them wives, they should bequeath unto their wives a provision for the year without turning them out, but if they go out (of their own accord) there is no sin for you in that which they do of themselves within their rights. Allah is Mighty, Wise
Those of you who die and leave wives, should bequeath to their wives maintenance for a year, without expulsion (from their home); but if they go out, there is no crime in you for what they do of themselves, in reason; but God is mighty and wise
And such of you as shall die and leave wives, shall bequeath their wives a year's maintenance without causing them to quit their homes; but if they quit them of their own accord, then no blame shall attach to you for any disposition they may make of themselves in a fair way. And God is Mighty, Wise
And such of you as shall die and leave wives, ought to bequeath their wives a year's maintenance, without putting them out of their houses: But if they go out voluntarily, it shall be no crime in you, for that which they shall do with themselves, according to what shall be reasonable; God is mighty and wise
What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it2 of the 2 paragraphs signed with this study
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.
The question asks whether the Qur'an says how many units each prayer has. The probe 'units?|bowings' returns no rows in the five renderings.
Shortening is read in the study What does the Qur'an say about shortening or combining prayers?, and the number of prayers in Does the Qur'an command five daily prayers? This study names one report outside the Qur'an and does not grade it.
