Core sense — he returned to it; he bore his sin; he was slain in retaliationgenerated

1.1and they returned with anger from Godوَبَاؤُوا بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ ٱللّٰهِ

.

He returned, went back, or came back, to it, namely a thing; or he withdrew, from a person or persons or a place, to it or him; or perhaps he made himself only and especially a companion, or an associate, to him or it: اِنْقَطَعَ.

In some copies of the K the second explanation is joined to the first by وَ [and] instead of أَو.

In the Kur 2:58 and 3:108; that is, the anger of God came upon them: or they returned deserving anger from God; or they became deserving of anger from God.

From بَآءَ فُلَانٌ بِفُلَانٍ: such a one was deserving of being, or fit to be, slain in retaliation for such a one, because he was his equal. The primary meaning of بَوْءٌ is said to be that of equalling, or being equal with. [See a similar phrase, also from the Kur, below.]

Qur’ān 2:61 Lane quotes this verse
وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَـٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نَّصْبِرَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامٍ وَٰحِدٍ فَٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِجْ لَنَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنۢ بَقْلِهَا وَقِثَّآئِهَا وَفُومِهَا وَعَدَسِهَا وَبَصَلِهَا ۖ قَالَ أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ ٱلَّذِى هُوَ أَدْنَىٰ بِٱلَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ ۚ ٱهْبِطُوا۟ مِصْرًا فَإِنَّ لَكُم مَّا سَأَلْتُمْ ۗ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ وَٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟ يَعْتَدُونَ

And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth, -its pot-herbs, and cucumbers, Its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. This because they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah and slaying His Messengers without just cause. This because they rebelled and went on transgressing.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1.1I returned it, took it back, or brought it back, to himبُؤْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ

Literally, I returned with it to him.

Also أَبَأْتُهُ and بُؤْتُهُ, but this last is rare.

1.1.2he returned laden with his sinبَآءَ بِإِثْمِهِ
he bore, or took upon himself, the burden of his sin, crime, or offenceبَآءَ بِذَنْبِهِ

So Akh; the muḍāriʿ and maṣdar are as above. Or, according to As, he acknowledged, or confessed, it.

Muḍāriʿ as above; maṣdars بَوْءٌ and بَوَآءٌ.

Aboo-Is-hák: اِحْتَمَلَهُ; and he became as though he were the abiding-place of it. Or he became burdened, or laden, with it. Or he became, or made himself, answerable, responsible, or accountable, for it, by an inseparable obligation, اِلْتَزَمَ بِهِ: for the primary meaning of بَوَآءٌ is said to be لُزُومٌ [that is, adhesion and the like], and it is then used in every case with a meaning of this kind, as the case requires; so it is said in the Nh, and stated clearly by Z and Er-Rāghib. Or he acknowledged, or confessed, it.

I desire that you return laden with the sin of killing me and your earlier sinإِنِّى أُرِيدُ أَنْ تَبُوْءَ بِإِثْمِى وَ إِثْمِكَ

In the Kur 5:35. Or: I desire that you should bear my sin, if I were to reach out my hand towards you, and your sin in reaching out your hand towards me; or the sin committed against me in killing me, and your sin for which your offering was not accepted.

Each noun stands in the place of a denotative of state; that is, that you return involved in the two sins, bearing them.

Perhaps the speaker meant: if that must inevitably happen, I desire that it be your act, not mine; so the real meaning is that it should not be his, not that it should be his brother's.

Or by إِثْمٌ may be meant the punishment for it, since desiring the punishment of the disobedient is allowable.

so they bore the burden of anger upon angerفَبَاؤُوا بِغَضَبٍ عَلَى غَضَبٍ

Th: the meaning is, if you have decided on killing me, the sin will be in you, not in me.

So Aboo-Is-hák explains it, in the Kur 2:84; اِحْتَمَلُوا, which he says is the proper meaning of the verb. Or, as some say, they bore the burden of sin for which they deserved the fire following upon sin for which they deserved the same; or they returned laden with anger upon anger; or they became deserving of anger upon anger. [See a similar phrase, also from the Kur, above.]

I acknowledge, or confess, to You your favour [towards me, as imposing an obligation upon me]أَبُوْءُ إِلَيْكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ

Said in a form of prayer.

he acknowledged himself answerable for his right, due, or just claimبَآءٌ بِحَقِّهِ
he acknowledged himself answerable for his bloodبِدِّمِهِ

on this sense The verb always expresses acknowledgement, or confession, of something for which its agent is, as it were, indebted, or answerable; not the contrary.

Miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls, in that they deny (the revelation) which Allah has sent down, in insolent envy that Allah of His Grace should send it to any of His servants He pleases: Thus have they drawn on themselves Wrath upon Wrath. And humiliating is the punishment of those who reject Faith.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1.3it became in my handبَآءَ بِكَفِّى

In a poem of Sakhr-el-Gheí, said of a sword: my hand became to it a مَبَآءَة, that is, مَأْوًى [or place of abode]; it returned, and became in my hand.

Or, according to Ibn-Habeeb, the same as اِسْتَقَلَّ [apparently a mistranscription for اِسْتَقَرَّ, it rested, or remained; the verb بآء in this phrase being from بَوَآءٌ, meaning لُزُومٌ, explained above].

1.2it suited, matched, tallied, or agreedبَآءٌ
such a one was the like, or equal, of such a one, to be slain in retaliation for himبَآءَ فُلَانٌ بِفُلَانٍ

Said of a thing.

.

Or he became his like, or equal, so that he was slain in retaliation for him; and was slain for him, his blood becoming a compensation for the blood of the other; or was deserving of being, or fit to be, slain in retaliation for him, because he was his equal; or was slain for him, and so became equal with him. Also أَبَآءَهُ and بَاوَأَهُ.

be one of those who are slain in retaliation for himبُؤْبِهِ
'Arári became slain for Kahlبَآءَتْ عَرَارِ بِكَحْلٍ

A proverb: these were two cows, which struck each other with their horns, and both died. It is applied to any two that become equal. See also art. عر.

Lane cites “Bd in ii. 58” — a commentary, not the verse; no modern number is given
1.2.1he made his blood equal with, or an equivalent for, the other's bloodبَآءَ دَمَهُ بِدَمِهِ

maṣdars بَوْءٌ and بَوَآءٌ; that is, by shedding it in retaliation.

he slew him in retaliation for himبَآءَهُ

[Or بَآءَهُ بِهِ,] or أَبَآءَهُ به and اِسْتِبَآءَهُ به; that is, the slayer for the slain.

he slew such a one in retaliation for such a oneأَبَآءَ فُلَانًا بِفُلَانٍ
he slew him in retaliationأَبَآءَهُ

Said when the Sultán has retaliated for a man upon another man.

said of the Sultán, or of another.

1.3he exalted himself, or was proudبَآءَ

Apparently formed by transposition of the second and third radical letters, the ى being changed into ا, from بَأَى.

Miserable is the price for which they have sold their souls, in that they deny (the revelation) which Allah has sent down, in insolent envy that Allah of His Grace should send it to any of His servants He pleases: Thus have they drawn on themselves Wrath upon Wrath. And humiliating is the punishment of those who reject Faith.

3:112
ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ أَيْنَ مَا ثُقِفُوٓا۟ إِلَّا بِحَبْلٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَحَبْلٍ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ ٱلْأَنۢبِيَآءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟ يَعْتَدُونَ

Shame is pitched over them (Like a tent) wherever they are found, except when under a covenant (of protection) from Allah and from men; they draw on themselves wrath from Allah, and pitched over them is (the tent of) destitution. This because they rejected the Signs of Allah, and slew the prophets in defiance of right; this because they rebelled and transgressed beyond bounds.

3:162
أَفَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ رِضْوَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ كَمَنۢ بَآءَ بِسَخَطٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَأْوَىٰهُ جَهَنَّمُ ۚ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

Is the man who follows the good pleasure of Allah Like the man who draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and whose abode is in Hell?- A woeful refuge!

5:29
إِنِّىٓ أُرِيدُ أَن تَبُوٓأَ بِإِثْمِى وَإِثْمِكَ فَتَكُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلنَّارِ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

"For me, I intend to let thee draw on thyself my sin as well as thine, for thou wilt be among the companions of the fire, and that is the reward of those who do wrong."

8:16
وَمَن يُوَلِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ دُبُرَهُۥٓ إِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًا لِّقِتَالٍ أَوْ مُتَحَيِّزًا إِلَىٰ فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ بَآءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَأْوَىٰهُ جَهَنَّمُ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ

If any do turn his back to them on such a day - unless it be in a stratagem of war, or to retreat to a troop (of his own)- he draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and his abode is Hell,- an evil refuge (indeed)!

Said of two slain men: they became equal, one being slain in retaliation for the other.

The occasion of the order was this: there was a conflict between two tribes of the Arabs, and one of the two tribes had superior power over the other, so they said, “We will not be content unless we slay, for the slave of our party, the free of their party; and for the woman, the man.”

shāhid
وَلَمْ أَرَجَارَ بَيْتٍ يُسْتَبَآءُفَلَمْ أَرَ مَعْشَرًا أَسَرُوا هَدِيًّا

ISk says that the هَدِىّ is one who is entitled to respect, honour, or protection, and that يستبآء is the same as يُتَبَوَّأُ, meaning whose wife is taken as a wife by another man.

But Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee says that يستبآء is from البَوَآءُ, meaning “retaliation”: [and by this interpretation, which is the more likely, the verse may be rendered, And I have not seen a company of men who have made captive one entitled to respect, or honour, or protection, nor have I seen one who has begged the protection of the people of a house, or of a tent, slain in retaliation:] for, he says, the man came to them wanting to beg their protection, and they took him, and slew him in retaliation for one of themselves.
