Question:
What is the ruling on some people saying “Blessed are we with so-and-so” or “Blessed are we with so-and-so” when a friend visits him?
Answer:
The word “tabarak” (blessed) is not used except for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it is not applied to anyone else; rather, this is specific to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Allah the Exalted said: “Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His servant,”[Al-Furqan 25:61-62] “In His hand is dominion, and He is over all things competent. So blessed is Allah, the best of creators,” and other verses. So this word “tabarak” is not used except for Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and for a created being, it is said that it is “mubarak” (blessed).
'Isa (peace be upon him) said, "And He made me blessed wherever I am." And Allah the Exalted said regarding the rain:[Qaf 50:9] It is said of the created thing that it is blessed.
If there is good and benefit for people in it, it is said to be “mubarak” (blessed). And for a place, if there is good in it, it is said, “This is a blessed place.” And the Noble Ka'bah is said to be “mubarak” (blessed).[Ali 'Imran 3:96]. So for created things that contain good and benefit, it is said “mubarak” or “mubaraka,” and it is not said “tabarak” or “tabarakat”; rather, this is specific to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.

(61) Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon. (62) And it is He who has made the night and the day in succession for whoever desires to remember or desires gratitude.
تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجًا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَاجًا وَقَمَرًا مُّنِيرًا وَهُوَ الَّذِي'Isa (peace be upon him) said, "And He made me blessed wherever I am." And Allah the Exalted said regarding the rain:
And We have sent down blessed rain from the sky
وَنَزَّلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً مُّبَارَكًاIf there is good and benefit for people in it, it is said to be “mubarak” (blessed). And for a place, if there is good in it, it is said, “This is a blessed place.” And the Noble Ka'bah is said to be “mubarak” (blessed).

لَلَّذِي بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكًا وَهُدًى لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
