maṣdarتَبْتِيلٌ

Core sense — he detached himself from worldly things and devoted himself to Godgenerated

5.1

See form 7, in two places.

5.1.1

He was, or became, alone.

5.1.2he detached himself from worldly things and devoted himself to Godتبتّلا إِلَى اللّٰهِ

Also بتّل.

Or he devoted himself to God alone and was sincere, without hypocrisy, towards Him; or he forsook every other thing and applied himself to the service of God.

Aboo-Is-hák: he devoted himself exclusively to the service of God.

Or he abstained from sexual intercourse; or تبتّل alone has this meaning; or he separated himself from women and abstained from sexual intercourse, and from this it is used figuratively of exclusive devotion to God.

Hence, in the Qur'ān 73:8, وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْةِ تَبْتِيلًا stands for تبتّل اليه تَبَتُّلًا.

he applied himself exclusively to the service of Godتبتّلا إِلَى العِبَادَةِ
5.1.3she adorned and beautified herselfتَبَتّلَتْ

Said of a woman.
