      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

            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 /

              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 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"

                    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.

                                    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

                                      Why do you add the adverb to your sentence?

                                      To avoid such an answer?

                                        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.

                                          Please copy paste where it says haraba = STRONG strike
