بارك عَلَيْهِ

He kept, or applied himself, constantly, or perseveringly, to it; (Lh, K;) namely, an affair, (TA in article حفظ,) or commerce, or traffic, &c. (Lh, TA.)

بارك اللّٰهُ فِيكَ, (Fr, S, Msb, K,) and لَكَ, and عَلَيْكَ, (S, K,) and بَارَكَكَ, (Fr, S, K,) verbal noun مُبَارَكَةٌ, (TK,) [God bless, beatify, felicitate, or prosper, thee;] God put in thee, (TA,) give thee, make thee to possess, (T, K,) بَرَكَة [i. e. a blessing, good of any kind, prosperity or good fortune, increase, &c.]. (TA, TK.) بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمِّدٍ وَ عَلَى الِ مُحَمَّدٍ (in a tradition, TA,) means Continue Thou, or perpetuate Thou, (O God,) to Mohammad and to the family of Mohammad the eminence and honour which Thou hast given them: (K, TA:) [or still bless or beatify, or continue to bless or beatify, Mohammad &c.: though it may well be rendered simply bless or beatify &c.:] Az says that it is from بَرَكَ said of a camel, meaning “he lay down upon his breast in a place and clave thereto.” (TA.) And اَللّٰهُمَ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِى المَوْتِ, in another tradition, means [O God, bless us] in the state to which death will bring us. (TA.) The Arabs say to the beggar, بُورِكَ فِيكَ [Mayest thou be blest; and, in the present day, اَللّٰه يُبَارِك فِيك God bless thee]; meaning thereby to repel him; not to pray for him: and by reason of frequency of usage of this phrase, they have made بُورِك a noun: a poet [in Har شريش العدوى (apparently Sherees, not Shereesh, El-'Adawee), in the TA Aboo-Fir'own,] says,

تَظُنُّ أَنَّ بُورِكًا يَكْفِينِى

إِذَا خَرَجْتُ بَاسِطًا يَمِينِى

[She imagines that the saying “Mayest thou be blest” will suffice me when I go forth stretching out my right hand for an alms]. (Har p. 378. [This verse is differently cited in the TA; for there, instead of تظنّ and خرجت, we find تُحِبُّ and غَدَوْتُ.])

[You also say of a man, بارك فِيهِ, and لَهُ, &c., meaning He blessed him; i. e. he prayed God to bless him.]
