Definition of Shrd

Sharada al-ba'ir: the camel fled.

Sharadtu fulanan: I drove him away to other lands.

The Almighty says: 'Scatter by them those behind them' (Al-Anfal 57), meaning frighten them and make them flee so their example serves as warning to others.

﴿فَإِمَّا تَثْقَفَنَّهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَرْبِ فَشَرِّدْ بِهِم مَّنْ خَلْفَهُمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ
So if you, [O Muhammad], gain dominance over them in war, disperse by [means of] them those behind them that perhaps they will be reminded.
