You who believe! Take all necessary precautions, then go out to
fight in separate groups or go out as one body. (Qur'an, 4:71)
When you are with them and leading them in prayer, a group of
them should stand with you, keeping hold of their weapons. When
they prostrate, the others should guard your backs. Then the other
group who have not yet prayed should come and pray with you.
They too should be careful and keep hold of their weapons. Those
who do not believe would like you to be negligent of your arms
and equipment so that they can swoop down on you once and for
all. There is nothing wrong, if you are bothered by rain or you are
ill, in laying your weapons down; but take every precaution. Allah
has prepared a humiliating punishment for the unbelievers.
(Qur'an, 4:102)

THEY SET TRAPS FOR THOSE
WHO HAVE NO FAITH
Then when he had supplied them with their needs, he put the
goblet in his brother's bag. A herald called out, 'Caravan! You are
thieves!' They turned to them and said, 'What are you missing?'
They said, 'We're missing the goblet of the king. The man who
brings it will get a camel's load. Regarding that I stand as
guarantor.' They said, 'By Allah, you know we did not come to
corrupt the land and that we are not thieves.' They said, 'What is
the reparation for it if it in fact transpires that you are liars?' They
said, 'Its reparation shall be him in the saddlebags of whom it is
discovered. With us that is how wrongdoers are repaid.' He started
with their bags before his brother's. and then produced it from
his brother's bag. In that way We devised a cunning scheme for
Yusuf. He could not have held his brother according to the statutes
of the King – only because Allah had willed it so. We raise the
rank of anyone We will. Over everyone with knowledge is a
Knower. (Qur'an, 12:70-76)
