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

      "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?

        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

                    Salam, Peace,

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

                    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

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

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

                                        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.
