    "Beauty needs no ornaments "
    I have given a sentence ,translate it according to travel (self concocted meaning) theory. Why are you reluctant to translate this sentence?

    Regards

    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

                      Classical arabic is an established and vast language.
                      Dharaba ( ) = travel
                      you need to prove through classical arabic work.
                      BTW what is meant by

                      According to you self concocted theory which meaning is drawn from this sentence /
                      regards

                      Why do you add the adverb to your sentence?

                      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.

                                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

                                    If you knew Arabic you would not re-paste these four sentences, because two of them confirm what I just posted, explaining two verbs which mean "to strike heavily" in two complete sentences with and ;and the two other sentences are incomplete.

                                    You don't even know what I am saying in English, let alone in Arabic. And do not divert the issue, which is that "Dharaba" DOES NOT MEAN SMACK. I repeated many times that it means to strike with a sword or a cane or a whip. when used alone. Whether it comes with "severly/strongly" or not is irrelevant. NONE OF YOUR COPY AND PASTE GIVES ANY MEANING FOR THE VERB AS TO "BEAT/ SMACK" without showing with what or where.

                                    I have lisanul 3arab in hard copy and online. I do not know why I need to tell a lie, (although what you copy and paste from lisanul 3arab is not on my online copies). Yet, it makes no difference and apart from the incomplete sentences, it supports what I have been saying. These are what I have from the online copy I have , with "dharban shadeedan"

                                    Explaining dharban "mubr-ri7an" as shadeedan. This is under two entries "bara7a" and "dharaba"
                                    and no such a thing as light beating, but .

                                    The above one is froma hadith about whipping a drunken. They almost killed him.

                                    These are the only sentences containing dharban shadeedan althrough lisanul 3arab.
                                    I have posted more than once my online source of the lisanul 3arab, www.baheth.info. You may check for yourself if you can. Just enter and you will have all the occurences of this word throughout the dictionary. Search for the ones followed by

                                    End of discussion with thick heads.

                                        Peace sister
                                        Again you are showing height of ignorance you said

                                        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",

                                        You said

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

                                        In the next post you have quoted Lisaan showing the xpression of "Dharaban Shadeedan". (Lie has no memory).

                                        You said

                                        Again you are trying to misguide the readers .Your claim was

                                        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

                                        In response to this I put so many reference SHOWING THE EXPRESSION OF DHARABAN SHADEEDAN.

                                        Again I am demanding from you about your claim the "The verb "Dharaba" in itself implies a strong strike"

                                        Produce a single evidence which says
                                        Dharaba = strong strike.

                                        On the other hand dictionaries clearly say

                                        • ( 2 /

                                        • ( 1 / 157)
                                          .Again you are trying to dodge and misguid the readers

                                        you said

                                        Explaining dharban "mubr-ri7an" as shadeedan. This is under two entries "bara7a" and "dharaba"
                                        and no such a thing as light beating, but

                                        It is explaining the meaning of "mubarrihan" not that of "dharaban".This sentence has been taken from Lisaanul arab under "Bariha" .The exact wording of lisaan is

                                        • ( 2 / 40

                                        Dharaba is common word for any sort of strike which may be strong or weak.To explain this specificity you have to use the word shadeedan or khafifan (strong or weak) as I have already shown many examples. If it had inherant meaning of "Strength" of strike there is no sense in using "Dharaban Shadeedan" (unfortunately this is question of common sense which is uncommon) and then khafeefan can never be used with it.

                                        It is exactly like an English word "odor" which can be good or bad. For good smell we use either "good odor " or "fragrance" and for bad odor we use either "offensive odor" or "stink"
                                        Please sister try to have some Classes in Classical Arabic.There is no harm in learning.
                                        Having Lisaanul arab and using it as DECORATION PIECE "just to impress reader makes one as a "laughing stock" and nothing else.

                                          YES it does imply a strong strike. Which authority would you accept as proof? your choice!
