        Peace Q_student ,

        you are right non of your words has the meaning of moving, never mind you can find hundreds of words with RB but for DAD-RA-BA one of the meaning is "travel" which is confirmed by the proto-root.

        Proto-roots are the ancestors of the roots and are bi-letters, it can sometimes help to find the meaning of a word but is not 100% effective as you demonstrated.

        regards

                Peace Q_Student

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

                BTW this is the subject of the thread.

                  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?

                                      To avoid such an answer?

                                      laugh
                                      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.
