Ayah 102

وَإِذَا كُنتَ فِيهِمۡ فَأَقَمۡتَ لَهُمُ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَلۡتَقُمۡ طَآئِفَةٞ مِّنۡهُم مَّعَكَ وَلۡيَأۡخُذُوٓاْ أَسۡلِحَتَهُمۡۖ فَإِذَا سَجَدُواْ فَلۡيَكُونُواْ مِن وَرَآئِكُمۡ وَلۡتَأۡتِ طَآئِفَةٌ أُخۡرَىٰ لَمۡ يُصَلُّواْ فَلۡيُصَلُّواْ مَعَكَ وَلۡيَأۡخُذُواْ حِذۡرَهُمۡ وَأَسۡلِحَتَهُمۡۗ وَدَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ لَوۡ تَغۡفُلُونَ عَنۡ أَسۡلِحَتِكُمۡ وَأَمۡتِعَتِكُمۡ فَيَمِيلُونَ عَلَيۡكُم مَّيۡلَةٗ وَٰحِدَةٗۚ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ إِن كَانَ بِكُمۡ أَذٗى مِّن مَّطَرٍ أَوۡ كُنتُم مَّرۡضَىٰٓ أَن تَضَعُوٓاْ أَسۡلِحَتَكُمۡۖ وَخُذُواْ حِذۡرَكُمۡۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلۡكَٰفِرِينَ عَذَابٗا مُّهِينٗا

102. And (O Beloved Prophet) when you are among them, then lead them in prayer [320], then let a group of them be with you [in prayer] [321] and let them take their arms [in defense] [322]. When they have finished their prostrations [323], let them be [in position] going to the rear [324]. Then let the other group, which has not yet prayed [325] come and be your follower [326] in the prayer and let them also take their means of protection and their weapons. The infidels wish that you become negligent of your arms and your baggage so that they can come down upon you in one attack. And there is no fault [327] upon you if you are in trouble due to rain or you become ill for putting down your arms. But you carry your means of protection with you [328]. Indeed, Allah has prepared for the infidels a humiliating torment [329].

29.Muhammad [89], Messenger of Allah, and those with him [90] are severe (91) against the infidels, but passionately tender among (92) themselves. You will see them owing and prostrating (93) themselves in prayer) seeking Grace of Allah and His Pleasure. They have the marks on their foreheads from the effect (94) of prostrations. This description of theirs is in the Taurat and this description is also in the Injeel (95), as a cultivated (96) seed that puts forth its shoots, then strengthens, than it becomes stout, then rises straight upon the stem, pleasing the cultivators (97), that brought them. He makes the hearts of he infidels to burn (98) in dismay. Allah has promised to those who believe and do righteous deeds, (99) forgiveness and a great reward (100).

Ayah 24

قَالَ لَقَدۡ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعۡجَتِكَ إِلَىٰ نِعَاجِهِۦۖ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرٗا مِّنَ ٱلۡخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبۡغِي بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَٰتِ وَقَلِيلٞ مَّا هُمۡۗ وَظَنَّ دَاوُۥدُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّـٰهُ فَٱسۡتَغۡفَرَ رَبَّهُۥ وَخَرَّۤ رَاكِعٗاۤ وَأَنَابَ۩

24. He (Dawood) said: "Surely he is doing injustice in demanding your ewe to add to his own ewe". And certainly, many of the partners show high-handedness against each other (45). But, those who believe and are righteous are very few (46), And Dawood perceived that We had tested (47) him. Therefore, he begged forgiveness from his Lord and fell in prostration (48), in homage, and turned (to Him) in repentance.
