maṣdarمُبَارَكَةٌ

Core sense — God bless you; he blessed him; he kept constantly to itgenerated

3.1

He kept, or applied himself, constantly and perseveringly to it: to an affair, or to commerce or trade.

3.2God bless you, make you happy, make you prosper—بارك ٱللّٰهُ فِيكَ

Also لَكَ, عَلَيْكَ and بَارَكَكَ. That is, God put in you, or give you, or make you to possess, بَرَكَة — a blessing, good of any kind, prosperity or good fortune, increase, and the like.

O God, bless Mohammad and the family of Mohammad—بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمِّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Or: continue, or perpetuate, to Mohammad and to the family of Mohammad the eminence and honour You have given them; or still bless them, or continue to bless them; though it may well be rendered simply bless. Az says it is from بَرَكَ, said of a camel, meaning he lay down on his breast in a place and clung to it.

O God, bless us in the state to which death will bring us—اَللّٰهُمَ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِى المَوْتِ
may you be blest—بُورِكَ فِيكَ

And today اَللّٰه يُبَارِك فِيك, God bless you. The Arabs say this to a beggar in order to put him off, not as a prayer for him; and through the frequent use of the phrase they have made بُورِك a noun.

A poet — in Har شريش العدوى, apparently Sherees, not Shereesh, El-'Adawee, and in the TA Aboo-Fir'own — says: [She imagines that the saying “may you be blest” will satisfy me when I go out stretching out my right hand for alms]

shāhid
تَظُنُّ أَنَّ بُورِكًا يَكْفِينِىإِذَا خَرَجْتُ بَاسِطًا يَمِينِى

The verse is cited differently in the TA: instead of تظنّ and خرجت we find there تُحِبُّ and غَدَوْتُ.

Form 6تبارك2 senses · 1 main

Core sense — blessed is God; hallowed and highly exalted is Hegenerated

6.1blessed is, or be, God; hallowed is, or be, God—تبارك ٱللّٰهُ

According to Zj, this form is an instance of تَفَاعَلَ, as quasi-passive of فَاعَلَ, that is, of بَارَكَ, as تَبَاعَدَ is of بَاعَدَ, from البَرَكَةُ; and so the lexicologists say generally.

Or: far removed is He, or be He, from every impurity or imperfection, or from everything that lessens his glory; or highly to be exalted, or extolled, is God, or highly exalted be He; Abu-l-'Abbás: greatly to be magnified is God, or greatly magnified be He.

The verb does not change [being considered as divested of all reference to time, or used as a wish]; and in these senses it is used only of God. It is an attribute peculiar to God.

Or it is the same as بَارَكَ, like قَاتَلَ and تَقاَتَلَ, except that فَاعَلَ is transitive and تَفَاَعَلَ is intransitive.

IAmb: it means that one looks for a blessing by uttering his name in every affair or case. Lth: it is a phrase of glorification and magnification.

Or تبارك means He is abundant in good, from البَرَكَةُ, which is abundance of good; or He surpasses everything and is exalted above it in his attributes and his works, because البَرَكَةُ carries the meaning of increase or addition; or He is everlasting, the same as دَامَ, from بُرُوكُ الطَّيْرِ عَلَى المَآءِ, the continuing of the birds at the water, from which البِرْكَةُ takes its name, because the water stays in it.

1one of these camels—بَارِكٌ

Many camels; or a herd of camels lying down on their breasts.

Or any camels, males and females, lying down on their breasts by the water or in the desert because of the heat of the sun or because they are full.

Or all the camels of the people of an encampment that come back to them from pasture in the evening or afternoon, however many they may be, even thousands.

The two words are like تَجْرٌ and تَاجِرٌ; feminine بَارِكَةٌ; plural بُرُوكٌ, that is, the plural of بَرْكٌ.

This word, and بِرْكَةٌ, which is with kesr: the breast of a camel; this is the primary meaning.

Some say this word means the breast of the camel with which he crushes a thing beneath him.

Lth: the latter is the part of the skin of the camel's breast that is next to the ground — or, as in the 'Eyn, of the skin of the camel's belly and of the part of the breast next to it — and this word means the same.

Or, some say, this word is the middle of the breast, where the two prominences of flesh called the فَهْدَتَانِ join at their upper parts.

Or the latter is the plural of this word, as حِلْيَةٌ is of حَلْىٌ.

Or this word is used of man, and the other of other creatures.

Or this word is the inside of the breast — Yaakoob says the middle of the breast — and the latter the outside of it.

Or this word is the breast, primarily of the camel, because camels lie down upon the breast, and figuratively of others.

Or something like it, dug in the ground, with no raised sides built for it above the surface of the ground; and بِرْكٌ means the same.

It is said to be so called because the water stays in it.

Plural بِرَكٌ, which Az found the Arabs applying to the tanks, or cisterns, built with baked bricks and plastered with lime on the road to Mekkeh and at its watering-places; singular بِرْكَةٌ. Sometimes a بركة is a thousand cubits in length, and less, and more.

بِرْكَةٌ often means a basin, a pool, a pond, or a lake; and today also a bay of the sea, and a reach of a river.

Also a place where water stays and collects, or collects and stagnates, or stays long and becomes altered.
