'''Transliteration:''' ''Faragha AAalayhim '''darban bialyameeni'''''}}

This is a great example. Here, ''darban bialyameeni'' literally means "'''hit them [people] with the right [hand].'''" According to this verse, when verb ''daraban'' is applied to humans, it means "beat" or "strike." It cannot be translated as "separate them from your right hand," as that is utterly ridiculous. The Islamic site in question, also agrees that ''darab'' here means  "strike."
