        Peace Q_Student

        I know where you coming from, so for you all the occurrences of in the Quran can only mean "to beat".

          I have given a sentence ,translate it according to travel (self concocted meaning) theory. Why are you reluctant to translate this sentence?

            I said yes in that context it means "to beat"
            But it is only one of the meaning for and I said that the etymology of the word originally means "move" as by proto-root.

            Now you show me in the following from the Quran also means "to beat"

            peace

              or I should have simply taken the example from 7320

              In any case I don't understand what you are trying to prove here, the fact is the original meaning is "move" then words evolve to what ever meanings depending on context and situations.

              peace

                This is "Dharaba mathalan" . This is well known arabic phrase written and explained in very classical dictionary .
                We are not talking about phrases /idioms of the this verb. We are talking about only about the verb "dharaba".
                To break
                To break out
                To break the ice
                All of the above have different meaning.
                This is basic priniciple of the language.
                "To beat" is the meaning of the word "dharaba". Look at the Lane's Lexicon.
                It means you have to learn the difference between parent verb and its idiomatic expression and you are commenting on the language usages.

                    Salam, Peace,

                    No you are wrong "dharaba"= "To beat" is one of the meanings, see Lane's Lexicon.

                    Now let me explain you my point of view

                    let's take some of the meanings of "dharaba" from Al Quran (if you have more please provide), where we all agree

                    1-To beat
                    2-To travel
                    3-To explain or to expose

                    So I said the basic and guenuin meaning of "dharaba" is "move", so let's apply this to the 3 meanings we have

                    1-To beat= the basic process if you break up the action of beating is a "move" of an object from one place to another (F=m*a) see also the definition below
                    http//www.collinslanguage.com/results.aspx?context=3&reversed=False&action=define&homonym=-1&text=beat

                    2-To travel = to move frome one place to another

                    3- To explain, expose = to move, transpose a situation, idea into an image so you can undestand easily.
                    colins definition, explain to make something easily understandable, esp. by giving a clear and detailed account of it,

                    Let's continue and take other examples from the contempory usage

                    4- to multiply to transpose (move) one number several times

                    5- to stamp (money or whatever) to move an image into a media

                    wa salam

                        Here you are mistaken.
                        7320
                        It is not dharaba which means "travel " rather a full phrase i.e dharaba fil ardh.

                        1424
                        Again it is not simply dharaba ,rather dharaba mathalan. which means to narrate parable.

                        Regards

                            Thanks Head of Hamza,

                            I didn't know about that one, I think QS is out of arguments now.

                              You know without modifying this verb with intensity/tool/place to strike...etc you cannot translate it into (to beat). Even in colloquial, a question would follow how did he "beat" him? With what? Was it serious?...etc

                                  What do these two books say about ?

                                  I only have access to about 5 classical dictionaries including Al-3ain and Lisanul 3arab, but could not find the expression( &#1575
                                  The verb "Dharaba" in itself implies a strong strike (to kill) .That's why you can't find "strongly strikes him", and this is why sunnis have to insert (lightly) to fool around.

                                    The verb "Dharaba" in itself implies a strong strike (to kill) .That's why you can't find "strongly strikes him", and this is why sunnis have to insert (lightly) to fool around.

                                    Peace
                                    Please copy paste where it says haraba = STRONG strike

                                        You still failed with all these references to show even once where dharaba means (to smack) without showing with what or where, however big is the size of your font.
                                        All your examples are for striking with a sword, a cane or a whip.
                                        Moreover,this "dharban shadeedan" is an explanation of the more eloqouent Arabic terms/phrases which are as follows (from your copy and paste)

                                        Strong beating

                                        Light beating

                                          Look at your statement

                                          I only have access to about 5 classical dictionaries including Al-3ain and Lisanul 3arab, but could not find the expression(

                                          ( )

                                          • ( 9 / 221)

                                          • ( 12 / 342)
                                            Lie has no leg to stand on.
                                            Look at this also

                                          .
                                          Actually you do not know even abc of Arabic language.You do not know even how to consult a dictionary .

                                          Give a single reference (Lisan or kitaabul Ain) which says that Dharaba means Strong Strike.
