''Beat them'' and ''leave them'' are different phrases in Arabic, utilizing the same verb, but here differentiated by the preposition used. The Arabic word ''idribohunna'' is the command form of the Arabic verv ''Daraba'' does not have any other meaning than ''Beat'' when it comes to the sentence ''"Yadribu Ahadan"'' يضرب أحدا= he hits someone. ''Idriboohunna'' <font size="4">(أضربوهن)</font> means beat them (for female plural). ''Idriboo 'anhunna'' <font size="4">(اضربوا عنهن)</font> with the preposition 'an عن would mean "leave" or "abandon" them.
