aor. ـِ (
S,
O,
K, &c.,)
inf. n. ضَرْبٌ, (
S,
O, &c.,) [He beat, struck, smote, or hit, him, or it;] and ↓ ضرّبهُ [signifies the same in an intensive sense, i. e. he beat, &c., him, or it, much, or violently; or in a frequentative sense, i. e. several, or many, times: or rather ضرّب is used in relation to several, or many, objects, as will be shown in what follows]: (

accord. to
Er-Rághib, الضَّرْبُ signifies the making a thing to fall upon another thing; and, as some say, the making it to fall with violence, or vehemence. (

Mgh,
Msb), &c. (
A,
Msb.) And تَضْرِبُ فِى حَدِيدٍ بَارِدٍ [Thou beatest upon cold iron]: a

Az says that, when the object is one, the Arabs use only the former verb, without teshdeed; but when there is a plurality of objects, either of the verbs; (
Msb;) [so that] one says, ضَرَبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ [They smote their necks, or beheaded them], and أَمَرَ الرِّقَابِ ↓ بِتَضْرِيبِ [He gave the order to smite the necks, or to strike off the heads]: (

Kur xlvii. 4 is originally فَاضْرِبُوا الرِّقَابَ ضَرْبًا [meaning Then do ye smite the necks, i. e. strike off the heads]; (

expl., the verb has but one
objective complement: or the phrase signifies he made [such a thing] an example, or the subject of a parable or similitude &c.; and so has two objective complements: in the saying in the

وَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ مَثَلًا أَصْحَابَ الْقَرْيَةِ (assumed
tropical:) [And propound thou to them a parable, the people of the town] i. e., the story of the people of the town, [or make thou to them a parable, or similitude, or an example, the people of the town;] مثلا may be in the
accus. case as an
objective complement, اضحاب القرية being a substitute for مثلا; or اصحاب القرية may be regarded as a second
objective complement [i. e. second in the order of the words, but first in the order of the sense]: the phrase is differently
expl. on account of the different meanings of the verb ضَرَبَ; which signifies he described, or rehearsed; and he declared, propounded, or explained; and he made, caused to be, or constituted; &c.;
accord. to some, it is taken from the phrase ضَرَبَ الدِرْهَمَ [
q. v.]; because of the impression which a parable or the like makes upon the mind:
accord. to some, from ضَرِيبٌ signifying “ a like; ” because the first thing is made like the second:
accord. to some, from ضَرَبَ الطِّينَ عَلَى الجِدَارِ [
q. v.; because the mud, applied as a plaster, conforms to the shape of the wall]: and
accord. to some, from ضَرَبَ الخَاتَمَ [
q. v.]; because of the correspondence between a parable or the like and the object to which it is applied, and the correspondence between the signet and its impression. (

M and
L &c.) يَضْرِبُ اللّٰهُ الْحَقَّ وَالْباطِلَ, in the

b39: ضَرَبَ [is often
intrans., and thus] signifies also تَحَرَّكَ [i. e. (assumed
tropical:) It was, or became, in a state of commotion, &c.]: (

A2: استضرب العَسَلُ The honey became ضَرَبَ; (
S;) i. e., became thick; (A;) or became white and thick: (
S,
K:) the verb in this sense is similar to اِسْتَنْوَقَ in relation to a he-camel, and اِسْتَتْيَسَت in relation to a she-goat. (
S.) ضَرْبٌ an
inf. n. used in the sense of a
