ونهى صلى الله عليه وآله عن التبقر في الأهل والمال. قال الأصمعي: أصل التبقر التوسع والتفتح، ومنه يقال: " بقرت بطنه " إنما هو شققته وفتحته. وسمي أبو جعفر " الباقر " لأنه بقر العلم أي شقه وفتحه.
He, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, forbade (excessive) openness with regards to family and property. Al-Asma’I said: The root of openness is to cause width and cause something to open. It stems from this that one says: «I opened his stomach» when it only refers to: «I slit it and opened it». Abu Ja’far [1] was named the Baqir, because he split the knowledge, meaning that he slit it and opened it.
[1] : Referring to Imam Muhammed al-Baqir (peace be upon him).
