Al-Nisa’ 4: 101–2

(101) When you go forth journeying in the land, there is no blame on you if you shorten the Prayer,72 (especially) if you fear that the unbelievers might cause you harm. Surely the unbelievers are your open enemies.

(102) (O Messenger), if you are among the believers and rise (in the state of war) to lead the Prayer for them, let a party of them stand with you to worship, keeping their arms. When they have performed their prostration, let them go behind you, and let another party who have not prayed, pray with you, remaining on guard and keeping their arms,73 for the unbelievers love to see you heedless of your arms and your baggage so that they might swoop upon you in a surprise attack. ▶

72 Shortening the Prayer (qasr) while travelling in peace-time consists of praying two rak[at at those appointed times when one is normally required to pray four rak[at. The form of qasr during the state of war has not been specified. Prayers should, therefore, be performed as circumstances permit.

73 This injunction regarding Prayer in the state of either fear or insecurity (khawf) refers to the condition when an enemy attack is anticipated, but the fighting has not yet begun.
