وَاِذَا كُنْتَ ف۪يهِمْ فَاَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَٓائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ مَعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُٓوا اَسْلِحَتَهُمْ۠ فَاِذَا سَجَدُوا فَلْيَكُونُوا مِنْ وَرَٓائِكُمْۖ وَلْتَأْتِ طَٓائِفَةٌ اُخْرٰى لَمْ يُصَلُّوا فَلْيُصَلُّوا مَعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوا حِذْرَهُمْ وَاَسْلِحَتَهُمْۚ وَدَّ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ تَغْفُلُونَ عَنْ اَسْلِحَتِكُمْ وَاَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَيَم۪يلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَيْلَةً وَاحِدَةًۜ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ اِنْ كَانَ بِكُمْ اَذًى مِنْ مَطَرٍ اَوْ كُنْتُمْ مَرْضٰٓى اَنْ تَضَعُٓوا اَسْلِحَتَكُمْۚ وَخُذُوا حِذْرَكُمْۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ اَعَدَّ لِلْكَافِر۪ينَ عَذَاباً مُه۪يناً

And when thou art among them, uphold thou the duty for them; then let there stand a number of them with thee, and let them take their arms; then when they have submitted, let them be behind you and let another number come that has not performed the duty, and let them perform the duty with thee; and let them take their precautions and their arms. (Those who ignore warning wish that you would neglect your arms and your equipment, so they might assault you in a single assault; but you do no wrong if there is a hindrance to you from rain or you are sick, that you lay aside your arms; but take your precautions: God has prepared for the false claimers of guidance a humiliating punishment.)
