Sit
....

Those who, while they sat at home, said of 
their brethren (who were fighting for the 
cause of Allah): If they had been guided by 
us they would not have been slain.
1

Such as remember Allah, standing, sitting, 
and reclining,
1

Those of the believers who sit still, other than
those who have a (disabling) hurt, are not on an
equality with those who strive in the way of 
Allah with their wealth and lives.
1 

Allah hath conferred on those who strive with their 
wealth and lives a rank above the sedentary
1

Unto each Allah hath promised good, but He 
hath bestowed on those who strive a great 
reward above the sedentary
1

When ye have performed the act of worship, 
remember Allah, standing, sitting and reclining
1

He hath already revealed unto you in the Scripture that,
when ye hear the revelations of Allah rejected and derided,
(ye) sit not with them (who disbelieve and mock) until
they engage in some other conversation. Lo! in that case
(if ye stayed) ye would be like unto them.
1

They said: O Moses! We will never enter (the land)
while they are in it. So go thou and thy Lord and
fight! We will sit here.
1

And when thou seest those who meddle with Our
revelations, withdraw from them until they meddle
with another topic. And if the devil cause thee
to forget, sit not, after the remembrance,
with the congregation of wrong doers
1

He said : Now, because Thou hast sent me astray,
verily I shall lurk in ambush for them on Thy Right Path.
1

Lurk not on every road to threaten (wayfarers)
1

Then, when the sacred months have passed,
slay the idolaters wherever ye find them,
and take them (captive), and besiege them,
and prepare for them each ambush.
1

And if they had wished to go forth they would
assuredly have made ready some equipment,
but Allah was averse to their being sent forth
and held them back and (it was said unto
them ) : Sit ye with the sedentary
1

Those who were left behind rejoiced at sitting
still behind the messenger of Allah, and were
averse to striving with their wealth and their
lives in Allah's way. And they said:
Go not forth in the heat!
1

If Allah bring thee back (from the campaign) unto a
party of them and they ask of thee leave to go out
(to fight), then say unto them: Ye shall never more
go out with me nor fight with me against a foe.
Ye were content with sitting still the first time.
So sit still, with the useless.
1

And when a surah is revealed (which saith ):
Believe in Allah and strive along with
His messenger, the men of wealth among them
still ask leave of thee and say : Suffer us
to be with those who sit (at home)
1

And those among the wandering Arabs who had
an excuse came in order that permission might be
granted them. And those who lied to Allah and
His messenger sat at home. A painful doom will
fall on those of them who disbelieve.
1

And if misfortune touch a man he crieth unto Us,
(while reclining) on his side, or sitting or
standing, but when We have relieved him of 
the misfortune he goeth his way as though
he had not cried unto Us because of a
misfortune that afflicted him. Thus is
what they do made (seeming) fair unto
the prodigal
