Peace Leoxyz,
Thank you for the detailed explanation and drawing my attention to the incorrect translation of "yattawwafa bihima" in my earlier post. May The God reward you.
That is partially true as per my research.
When "taafa" is followed by "bi" or "3alaa", it can also mean "to visit"/"to come to"/"to approach"/"to draw/become near" or "to go round about among" i.e. intermingle. For example
ATAAFA BIHI/ALAIHI = He came to him or visited him; he approached him; he drew, or was, or became near to him (synonymous with "ALAMMA BIHI/ALAIHI" and "QAARABAHU"
TAAFA BINNISAA = He came to women; he visited the women.
TAAFA BILQAWMI = He went round about among the people/party i.e. he intermingled with them.
If it says "taafa bi 3alaa", then it can mean "go around"; for example "tuftu bihi 3alaa al-bayti" meaning "I went round the house".
REFERENCE Lane Lexicon.
In 2158 we hear "yattawwafa bihima", and according to the context the most appropriate meaning would be "he visits them/comes to them/approaches them/becomes near to them".
Similarly in 2229, "yattawwafoo bi al-bayti" would mean "they visit/come to/approach/draw near the house" according to the context.
In 2458, "tawwafoona alaykum" would mean "they intermingle with you"/"they go round about among you" according to the context.
Walking around/circumambulating will not make any sense in those signs and other similar signs.
Please go through the thread referenced in my post above for discussion on the meaning of "al-safaa" and "al-marwata" and the references.
The revised translation of 2158 after the appropriate correction would be
The camel and the sheep that give a lot of milk (al-safa) and the stone on which they are cooked/slaughtered (al-marwata) are from what The God makes us aware with (sha3air) so whomever visits the house or maintains there is no blame on him if he comes to/approaches/draws near them (yattawwafa bihima) and whoever does good voluntarily, then The God is Appreciative, Knowledgeable.
This is my last comment on this issue unless something new turns up.
Dear Tanveer;
I appreciate your effort.But here again you have comitted a mistake (Blunder)
The Ayaat which you gave and I put their text in my Previous post which I am going to copy paste
Now coming to your word ROOTS
(,, ) ( ن
The derivatives of these roots are used 40 times in the Holy Quran .
Among them
is used once
Most of derivatives are Triltiteral and primitive verbs but a few are "Derived Verbs" .
The Ayas which you have referred to I putting exact Ayas below
3745
4371
7615
5224
5617
7619
5544
6819
Among them First three are using the Derived verbs from Baab ( ) while rest of 5 are from Primitive verb from Baab ( )
While our Aya under discussion is as follows
2158
The word used over here is from Baab ( ) and same derivative is used in another aya
2229
In these Ayaat the Baabs used are
1Nasara /yansuru
2Tafeel
3Tafaaul
I have clearly pointed out in my postBut you have looked in the Lane's lexicon in Baab "Ifaal"
Honestly speaking ,unless you do not the Arabic grammar Properly ,you cannot consult the Arabic dictionary.I have noticed it is your third or fourth post in which you are comitting such mistakes.I do not question your sincerity/effort.But you open the Lane's lexicon ,and see which material suites your ideas and starts running after it. Arabic dictionaries are not like English or Urdu dictionaries.The correct method is
-First know the roots
-Then see if it is being used in 'Primitive Baabs" or Derived forms
-Then accordingly look for it.
In none of the above quoted Ayaat this verb is used in "Ifaal" derived form.How can you get the correct meaning?
