    peace QS,

    It is 1st column on left, middle.

    Peace Brother
    First of all I thank you for the help. But this meaning of "Prevention or Prohibition" is not that of "" but of " " which has meaning of "He struck his hand" but figuratively it has two meanings
    1He struck a bargain
    2He prevented him

    If the Quranic verse would have been " then this translation would have been absolutely perfect.This is an idiomatic expression and The Quran is NOT USING IT IN THE DISPUTED VERSE MEANINGS.
    Regards

      "The book of the 3ain" by al Khaleel ibn Ahmad, the first classical dictionary, gives these meanings for the word "dharaba" (sorry, in Arabic). Inerestingly, none means "to strike"; some mean, indirectly to strike with a sword

        Peace,

        In marriage, a women must obey her husband in all marital issues in exchange to the gift and caretaking done by the husband. He has the upper hand.

        Nushuz means total rebellion and disregard of the husband. Nushuz doesn't come immediately but in stages.

        If you fear your wife is going to a state of nushuz, you must act, otherwise, she will disregard you completely ie. Nushuz.

        To avoid nushuz, doing the three steps including beating, the final and corporeal punishment, is enough to avoid nushuz.

        Peace,

        Rami

          peace QS,

          I never said this is the meaning of DRB in 434.

          I am hesitant of coupling meanings to prepositions in the sense that it cannot mean anything else but XYZ with this preposition, but we can add notes to various meanings in PRL, as it is a work in progress. I have made a note of it.

          Perhaps you can help out with something. Are there any examples of beat or strike by a human against another human in which no additional clarifying words or prepositions are used in any Classical Arabic dictionary? What I have personally noticed on this topic is the shocking lack of information there is from Classical Arabic dictionaries in the articles for those who advocate "beat" or even "strike".

          All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

            Those who think and practically beat blatently disobey the Command of Allah and stand included in those who believe in some part of the Book and disbelieve in some other part.

            This is the ONLY place where these three words have been used together.

                True you never said but you did not object TS to attach meanings of an idiom to the verb when I asked for reference.
                You said

                That is your own opinion and you have all to right to own it. But any language treats verbs and their idiom differently."To break " and "to break out" cannot be treated similarly in English as far as meanings are concerned.

                  peace QS,

                  I was not even conversing with ts11 in this thread. If you thought it was wrong, you could have said why. In any case, Lane is only one Classical Arabic dictionary, for example, Dictionary of Holy Quran which utilises several Classical Arabic dictionaries states "prevent" but does not mention a prespotion or conditions on it. Since you have access to other Classical Arabic dictionaries, we can only assume you have either not checked them or have checked them and found "prevent/restrain" etc can only be with such conditions etc. God knows best.

                  It is not all opinion, for example 'drb fi al ard' can be treated the same as 'drb al ard' according to the above mentioned book, and I am sure there are other examples.

                  All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.

                    One should not assume without any evidence. The Holy Quran forbids such assumptions.

                    It would have been much better ,if you had asked me whether I consulted other Classical dictioanaries for this meaning or not.
                    My answer is yes I tried my level best but I could not find that the verb "dharaba" means "restraints or Prevention".
                    I will be extremely happy if someone could help us in this matter.

                        Of course you will have to marry a weak woman or one who does not have strong males/females in her family or circle of friends; and you should be a physically strong man with no disability. Otherwise, tell me, who would beat up this one

                              What are your views on men slapping their wives in Leviticus?

                              God bless

                                Well, Leviticus went further than slapping, more like stoning. I don't accept violence towards anyone except in self-defence

                                      With such an understanding, anybody feeding another has the right to beat them up if they do not "obey" them, but in the end, you cannot beat someone who is stronger than you. This means that this remedy goes only for the strong against the weak, and weaker, older husbands and husbands who are sick and/or with disabilities are deprived of this "God-given right". Same goes to wives a stronger richer wife, a wife whose father or a relative is a man of authority, a gangster or just one who is ready to hire a gangster to revenge for his dughter/sister/relative/friend cannot be beaten up. And what shall we end up with? The stronger spouse beating up the helpless one....and you call this a God-given right? No, this is "domestic violence", not a godly right given to a violent, unkind arrogant person who commands the weaker to "obey" them.

                                          In that case, if I was responsible for my old grandma I will beat her up and she can't do anything about it because I am feeding her )
                                          Take a look at your own mother. Will you be happy if your dad beat her up simply because he was afraid?
                                          Are you married? I hope not. I hope you never do until you realise the worth of a woman.
