''Al-Ardi'' ٱلْأَرْضِ means "'''the land'''" or "the earth." Thus, the whole statement ''daraboo fee al-ardi'' ضَرَبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ means "'''hit in the land'''", with a meaning of something like "hit the road", a clearly figurative etension of the main meaning of the verb, "hit." | ||
"Hit" here gives thismeaning only when it is against "land"; it is a well-known expression in Arabic. | |||
