بَرًا

, or بَرًى, Dust, or earth: (Fr, S, M, Msb, K, mentioned in the M and K in article برى:) whence بَرَاهُ, [if not originally بَرَأَهُ,] meaning “He (i. e. God) created him.” (Fr, S.) Hence the saying, بِفِيهِ البَرَا, or البَرَى, [In his mouth be dust, or earth], (S, M,) a form of imprecation against a man. (M.)
