4:104

فَإِذَا قَضَيْتُمُ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ فَٱذْكُرُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ قِيَٰمًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىٰ جُنُوبِكُمْ ۚ فَإِذَا ٱطْمَأْنَنتُمْ فَأَقِيمُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ كَانَتْ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتَٰبًا مَّوْقُوتًا

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And when you have finished the Prayer, remember Allah while standing, and sitting, and lying on your sides. And when you are secure from danger, then observe Prayer in the prescribed form; verily Prayer is enjoined on the believers to be performed at fixed hours.

English - Five Volume Translation

And when you have finished the Prayer, [a]remember Allah while standing, and sitting, and lying on your sides. And [b]when you are secure from danger, then observe Prayer in the prescribed form; verily Prayer is enjoined on the believers to be performed at fixed hours.[572]

3:192.

2:240.

Commentary:

As in the midst of a battle, formal Prayers are either said in haste, or performed in the form of one Rak‘at only. Muslims are enjoined in this verse, with a view to making up the deficiency, to continue remembering God and praying to Him in an informal manner after the obligatory service is over. This was to compensate, on the one hand, for the shortening of Prayer and, on the other, to serve as a means of drawing the special aid and help of God in a time of great danger.

The expression, And when you are secure (from danger), then observe Prayer (in the prescribed form), very clearly brings out the difference between the words صلوا or اقضوا الصلوة (pray or offer Prayer) and the words اقیموا الصلوة (observe Prayer). The latter expression signifies observing Prayer attentively with all its necessary conditions. The verse thus clearly shows that Islam does not look upon the hasty performance of Prayer as coming under the injunction, اقیموا الصلوة (observe Prayer). See also 2:4.

English - Short Commentary Translation

And when you have finished the Prayer, [a]remember Allah, standing and sitting, and lying on your sides.[662] And [b]when you are secure from danger, then observe Prayer in the prescribed form; verily Prayer is enjoined on the believers to be performed at fixed hours.

As in the midst of a battle formal Prayers are either said in haste, or performed in the form of one Rak‘at, Muslims are enjoined in this verse, that in order to make up the deficiency, they should remember God and pray to Him in an informal manner after the obligatory service is over. This is to compensate for the shortening of Prayer.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

پھر جب تم نماز ادا کر چکو تو اللہ کو یاد کرو کھڑے ہونے کی حالت میں بھی اور بیٹھے ہوئے بھی اور اپنے پہلوؤں پر بھی۔ پھر جب تمہیں اطمینان ہو جائے تو نماز کو قائم کرو۔ یقیناً نماز مومنوں پر ایک وقتِ مقررّہ کی پابندی کے ساتھ فرض ہے۔

French

Et quand vous aurez terminé la Prière, souvenez-vous d’Allāh, que vous soyez debout, assis ou couchés sur vos côtés. Et lorsque vous êtes en sécurité, alors observez la prière selon la forme prescrite ; la Prière est en vérité enjointe aux croyants pour être faite à des heures prescrites.

German

Und wenn ihr das Gebet beendet habt, dann gedenket Allahs im Stehen, Sitzen und wenn ihr auf eurer Seite liegt. Und wenn ihr in Sicherheit seid, dann verrichtet das Gebet (in der vorgeschriebenen Form); denn das Gebet zu bestimmten Zeiten ist den Gläubigen eine Pflicht.

Chinese

当你们完成了拜功, 还要在站着、坐着、斜卧着的时刻[a]记念安拉。[b]当你们脱离了危险, 要按照常规履行拜功。拜功确是信仰者要做的定时天命。

2:240.

Italian

E una volta finita la preghiera, ricordate Allah, quando siete in piedi e quando siete seduti e quando giacete sul fianco. E quando siete al sicuro da pericolo, osservate la preghiera nel modo prescritto. In verità, ai credenti è prescritta la preghiera nelle ore stabilite.

Spanish

Y cuando hayáis finalizado la Oración, recordad a Al-lah ya estéis de pie, sentados o tumbados sobre vuestros costados. Y cuando stéis fuera de peligro, cumplid la Oración de la forma prescrita; ciertamente la Oración se ordena a los creyentes para que sea practicada en los momentos prescritos.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور جب تم نماز ادا کر چکو تو اللہ کو کھڑے اور بیٹھے اور اپنے پہلوؤں پر یاد کرتے رہو۔ پھر جب تم مطمئن ہو جاؤ تو نماز کو سنوار[1] کر پڑھو۔ نماز مومنوں پر یقیناً ایک مو ٔقت فرض ہے۔

یعنی جنگ اور خطرہ کی حالت کی طرح جلدی جلدی نہیں۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

پھر جب نماز سے فارغ ہو جاؤ تو کھڑے اور بیٹھے اور لیٹے، ہر حال میں اللہ کو یاد کرتے رہو اور جب اطمینان نصیب ہو جائے تو پوری نماز پڑھو نما ز در حقیقت ایسا فرض ہے جو پابندی وقت کے ساتھ اہل ایمان پر لازم کیا گیا ہے
