And when you travel throughout the land, there is no blame upon you for shortening the prayer, [especially] if you fear that those who disbelieve may disrupt [or attack] you. Indeed, the disbelievers are ever to you a clear enemy.

நீங்கள் பூமியில் பிரயாணம் செய்யும்போது, காஃபிர்கள் உங்களுக்கு விஷமம் செய்வார்கள் என்று நீங்கள் அஞ்சினால், அப்பொழுது நீங்கள் தொழுகையைச் சுருக்கிக் கொள்வது உங்கள் மீது குற்றம் ஆகாது. நிச்சயமாக காஃபிர்கள் உங்களுக்குப் பகிரங்கமான பகைவர்களாக இருக்கின்றனர்.

නුඹලා භූමියෙහි ගමන් කළ විට, දේවත්වය ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කළවුන් නුඹලාට කලහකම් ඇති කරනු ඇතැයි නුඹලා බිය වෙතොත්, සලාතය කෙටි කිරීම නුඹලාට වරදක් නැත. සැබැවින් ම දේවත්වය ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කළවුන් නුඹලාට ප්‍රකට සතුරන් වූහ.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
جب تم سفر میں جا رہے ہو تو تم پر نمازوں کے قصر کرنے میں کوئی گناه نہیں، اگر تمہیں ڈر ہو کہ کافر تمہیں ستائیں گے ، یقیناً کافر تمہارے کھلے دشمن ہیں۔
