Thank you Osama.
But doesn't daha mean spread ? I've never seen to roll before.
Thanks.
Dear brother, please visit the links that I gave, which are as follows, and read the definitions. Not only I gave definitions from Arabic dictionaries, but
I also gave Noble Verses and Hadiths that prove the definitions:
www.answering-christianity.com/egg-shaped_earth.htmHere are examples:
Daha دحا means:
دحا (daha): دفعه و رمى به (dafa'aahu wa ramaa bih) Caused it to move, pushed it, or threw it.
•ويقذفون من كل جانب دحورا ولهم عذاب واصب (The Noble Quran, 37:8-9) And they're cast away from every side, repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty.
•دحا الصبي المِدحاةَََ أي دفع الصبي المِدحاةَََ Daha the boy the rolling toy, means the boy pushed the rolling toy.
•دحرجَ (dahraja): to roll, roll along, to roll down.
دحا (daha): و في حديث أبي رافع: كنت أُلاعب الحسن و الحسين, رضوان الله عليهما, بالمداحي, هي احجار أمثال القِرصة
In the Hadith of Abi Rafiaa': I used to play with Al-Hasan and Al-Hussein, may Allah Almighty be pleased with them, with AL-MADAAHI, which means STONES that look like AL-QIRASAH.
دحا (daha): المداحي هي احجار أمثال القِرصة Al-madaahi are stones that resemble AL-QIRASAH.
So what does Al-Qirasah mean?
According to Lisan Al-Arab dictionary [1], Book 4, Page 516
•القِرصة (al-qirasah): قرِّصي العجين أي سوِّيه قِرصة Cut the dough into small round pieces.
•القِرصة (al-qirasah): قرص الشمس اي عينها The qurs of the sun means the eye of the sun, which is round.
