[quote]>>The Shariheen has explained this word as Darab Ghaira Mubrahin ,which means to hit without causing any injury. To my mind, it should be understood as admonition.

Has the word Dharab been used for the verse in Al-Nissa wherein it mentions successive actions for nushooz of 'admonish', 'nullifying of intimate relations' and finally 'beating'? I suppose if it has been used then it actually means beating as opposed to admonishing, for two reasons:

1) The directives on nushooz increase in intensity.

2) A different word/term has already been used for admonishing.

Further proof:

In one of the narratives ascribed to the Prophet (pbuh), in Muslim: Kitabu'l-Hajj he is reported to have used the words: "Dharban Ghaira Mubarrihin" (a beating that is not severe). However, it is not possible to state in an objectively determinable manner when does a "beating" cross the limits of being "light".

ON A SEPARATE NOTE:
Finally, will someone please attempt to reconcile the two verses of Al-Nissa in the separate topic. I have as yet received no response from the scholars I have addressed this question.
