"برَكة"（Barakah）“祝福”字面意思是持续不断的大量善物。学者们甚至将这个词及其含义追溯到"بِركة"（Birkah）一词，该词指大量的水。它是指持续盛装大量水的任何宽阔容器或水的聚集处。同样，祝福也是持续不断的大量善物。因此，这句话的意思是：愿您降下祝福于您所赐予我的一切。

The word E!?
'
 (Barakah) “blessing” literally means a lot of anything good that is continuous. The scholars even trace this word and its meaning back to the word E!?'  (Birkah) which means a large amount of water. It is any wide container or gathering of water that continuously contains a large amount of water. Similarly, blessing is also a continuously large amount of good. So the meaning of this statement is: Send blessings down upon that which You have given me.

“在你所赐予的”这句话的含义是全面的，包括真主赐予我们的一切：财富、子女、知识，以及真主（SWT）所赐予我们的其他一切。因此，你是在祈求真主在这一切之中降下福泽。如果真主不在祂所赐予你的事物中降下福泽，那么你将失去大量的善果。

The wording, “in what You have given” is comprehensive including anything Allaah has given us of wealth, children, knowledge, and everything else Allaah () has bestowed upon us. Therefore, you ask Allaah to put blessings in all of that. If Allaah does not put blessings into that which He has given you, a great amount of good will surely be prevented from you.

有多少人拥有巨额财富，却仿佛生活在贫困之中？

How many people possess a vast amount of wealth, yet it is as if they are living in poverty?

这是因为他们从自己的财富中得不到任何真正的益处；他们只是聚敛财富，从未从中获益。这是财富中的福泽被夺去的结果。

This is because they gain no real benefit from their wealth; they simply collect it and never benefit from it. This is the result of the blessings being removed from it.

同样，许多人儿孙满堂，却因其不顺从与忘恩负义，对父母毫无益处。这样的人，并未在子女身上得到福泽。

Likewise, many people have lots of children and grandchildren, yet they do not benefit their parents in anything due to their disobedience and ungratefulness. Such people have not been blessed in their children.

你还会看到一些人，真主赐予他大量的知识，然而他却仿佛不识字一般。在他的敬拜、品行、礼仪以及对待他人的方式中，你看不到任何知识的痕迹。相反，他的知识可能反而使他更加傲慢，自认为高人一等，于是轻视、贬低真主的其他仆人。这样的人没有意识到，赐予他这份知识的，正是真主，除祂之外别无他者。你会发现，他从不以自己的知识利益他人：既不讲课，也不劝导，也不著书立说。相反，他完全只以自己为中心。这无疑是一种巨大的剥夺，尽管宗教知识是真主赐予仆人最尊贵的恩典之一。

You also find some people to whom Allaah has given a great amount of knowledge, yet it is as if he is illiterate. You see no traces of knowledge upon him in his worship, in his character, in his manners, or in the way he treats others. Rather, his knowledge may even increase him in arrogance and thinking himself to be above the rest of Allaah’s servants, belittling and humiliating them. Such a person does not realize the one who bestowed this knowledge upon him is none other than Allaah. You see that he never benefits people with his knowledge, neither with lessons, nor advice, nor with writings. On the contrary, he is exclusively centered only upon himself. This is without doubt a great deprivation, even though religious knowledge is one of the most blessed things Allaah gives to a servant.

之所以如此，其中一个原因在于：当你把这些知识教给他人、在人们中间传播时，你会因此获得回报，而且这种回报是从多个不同的角度体现出来的。

One reason for this is that when you teach it to others and spread this knowledge among the people, you are rewarded for that and this is from many different perspectives:

当你传播这些宗教知识时，你是为了真主的宗教而做的。

1. When you spread this religious knowledge, you do so for the religion of Allaah ().

所以你成为了真主之道上的圣战者之一:这是因为你向宗教知识敞开了心扉,就像那位以正直与信仰征服一片土地的圣战者一样。

So you become from the Mujaahidoon in the path of Allaah: that is because you have opened the hearts to religious knowledge like the Mujaahid who conquers a land with rectification and faith.

2. 传播知识和教授知识的福泽之一在于：借此可以保存和守护安拉的律例（沙里亚）。若不是知识得以代代相传，这些律例就无法被保存下来。

2. From the blessings of spreading knowledge and teaching it is that by doing so, there is the preservation and protection of Allaah’s legislation (the Sharee’ah). If it were not for the passing on of knowledge, the legislation would not have been preserved.

3. 传播知识的福报还在于：当你教导他人时，你就给了他们莫大的益处。你使他们明白真主的宗教（）。此外，当仆人凭借知识和见识去崇拜真主时，他们所获得的类似回报也将归于你，因为你引导他们行了某种善事。指引他人行善的人，就如同亲自去行善的人一样。9

3. Also from the blessings of spreading knowledge is that when you teach others, you are doing them a great deal of good. You give them insight into the religion of Allaah (). Moreover, when the servant then worships Allaah with knowledge and insight, similar rewards they are given will be your reward, because you directed them towards a particular good. The one who directs another to do something good is just like the one who actually does it.9

4. 此外,通过传播和传授知识,人自己的知识也会增长。众所周知,任何向他人传授某门知识的人,他在该学科上的知识都会增长。这是因为在教授的过程中,人既在回想自己先前所学并记住的内容,也在学习必须预先准备的新东西。关于这一点,有一句关于财富的著名阿拉伯谚语:“常常施舍,它便增长;紧握在拳头里,它便减少。”同样,如果知识被藏起来而不加传授,它最终也会减少。

4. Also, by spreading and teaching knowledge, one’s own knowledge increases. It is known that anyone who teaches a particular knowledge to people, his knowledge in that subject will increase. This is because in teaching, one is recalling what he previously learned and memorized as well as learning new things that he must prepare. In this meaning, there is a famous (Arabic) proverb regarding wealth, “It increases by spending it often, and it decreases if held in a tight fist.” Similarly, if knowledge is withheld and not taught, it will eventually decrease.
