Its root in the classical dictionaries
الركوب في الأصل: كون الإنسان على ظهر حيوان، وقد يستعمل في السفينة، والراكب اختص في التعارف بممتطي البعير، وجمعه ركب، وركبان، وركوب، واختص الركاب بالمركوب، قال تعالى: والخيل والبغال والحمير لتركبوها وزينة
قوله تعالى: ﴿والركب أسفل منكم﴾ [الأنفال: 42]، المراد أصحاب الإبل المركوبة، وهي في الأصل مصدر واقع موقع المركوب، وهي الإبل، ثم أطلق على أصحابها، فهو في ثاني رتبة من المجاز. والركوب بمعنى المركوب كالحلوب؛ قال تعالى: ﴿فمنها ركوبهم﴾ [يس: 72] وجمعها: ركب، بضمتين. والركاب: المركوب أيضا، وجمعها: ركائب. وأصل الركوب الاستعلاء…
Remember ye were
On the hither side
Of the valley, and they
On the farther side,
And the caravan
On lower ground than ye.
Even if ye had made
A mutual appointment
To meet, ye would certainly:
Have failed in the appointment:
But (thus ye met),
That God might accomplish
A matter already enacted;
That those who died might
Die after a clear Sign
(Had been given), and those who lived
Might live after a Clear Sign
(Had been given). And verily
God is He who heareth
And knoweth (all things).
So the Ark floated
With them on the waves
(Towering) like mountains,
And Noah called out
To his son, who had
Separated himself (from the rest):
"O my son! embark
With us, and be not
With the Unbelievers!"
So they both proceeded:
Until, when they were
In the boat, he scuttled it.
Said Moses: "Hast thou
Scuttled it in order
To drown those in it?
Truly a strange thing
Hast thou done!"
Now, if they embark
On a boat, they call
On God, making their devotion
Sincerely (and exclusively) to Him;
But when He has delivered
Them safely to (dry) land,
Behold, they give a share
(Of their worship to others)!—
