      Salam, Peace,

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

      wa salam

      Peace
      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?

            http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9598471.msg206418#msg206418

            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.

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

                              You said

                              NONE OF YOUR COPY AND PASTE GIVES ANY MEANING FOR THE VERB AS TO "BEAT/ SMACK" without showing with what or where.

                              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
                              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.

                              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

                              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

                              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!

                                  Why do you highlight my quote, dropping (to kill) from it?
                                  The verb "Dharaba" in itself implies a strong strike (to kill)
                                  You are a deceiver.
                                  All your copy pastes have (dharaba) meaning (to kill).
                                  Non of them originally have "shadeedan" but another adverb explained as to mean "shadeedan".
                                  If you were able to read Arabic, you wouldn't have spent such a time searching what to copy-paste, ignorantly proving my point.
                                  As for the two sentences you claim to be from lisanul 3arab, I dare you post your online source link to that dictionary, just as I did.
                                  Your example is that of a monkey sitting at a pc and copying without understanding...

                                    A transitive verb needs an object and in that case it certainly reflects an effect. So the effect is built in the verb. Dharba can be used only when its effect is apparent, evident and surfaced i.e. forceful. English word "strike" does not reflect the effect for which we use such terms "lightly", "forcefully" etc. Dharba is primarily to make the thing evident, prominent, visible, surfaced and thus could be implied for beating only when beating is such that left a visible mark and visible mark is left only when striking is forceful. Therefore Dharba does not need qualifying by words like shadeedan.

                                          How long we would remain S. students on the this forum by not respectfully responding to the teacher, "yes, Mam". We must learn on the forum to submit to the seasoned and reasoned response and explanation, instead of sticking and keeping the shackle around our necks.
