Arabic term

rebat? ribat? (meaning "sudden attack")

Arabic to English Other Poetry & Literature Quotation from a dictionary
Hi,

My Spanish dictionary states that the word "rebato" (meaning "warning of attack; surprise attack") comes from an Arabic word "rebat" ("ribat"?) meaning "acometida súbita", i.e. "sudden attack".

Very grateful for any help in tracing what this Arabic word might be...

All the best,

Simon

State of preparedness
معني كلمة رباط يختلف من إستخداام لأخر

sudden attack means in arabic (Mobagatah) مباغته
and here does sound or mean Rebat or ribat at all
thank youلا تزال طائفة من أمتي ظاهرين على الحق لعدوهم قاهرين، لا يضرهم من خذلهم ولا من خالفهم، حتى يأتيهم أمر الله – عز وجل – وهم فى رباط الى يوم الدين ، قالوا: يا رسول الله وأين هم؟ قال : ببيت المقدس وأكناف بيت المقدس
in this verse too it means state of readiness.... not Sudden attack but if you need sudden attack it is ( mobagatah) as i mentioned

State of readiness for (military) defence

the term "rebat" is used in the Islamic culture to refer, most of the time, to the state of readiness for (military) defence when there is a war or when it is expected form an enemy to launch a sudden attack during the state of war. So the word "rebat" doesn't mean the sudden attack itself, but rather "to be ready to stand against the attack".
