Barakesh was a dog who used to bark a lot at night. One night another tribe wasmarauding around the place, and Barakesh's barking gave the camp's position away. She was killed together with the rest of the clan. Hence the saying, "Barakesh has brought this upon herself" علي نفسها جنت براكش

: على أهلها دلت براقش: هي كلبة نبحت فدلت العدو على أهلها فأوقعوا بهم، ويروى: جنت، يضرب لمن أتاه الشر من نفسه، وقيل: براقش امرأة لقمان بن عاد، وكان قوم لقمان لا يأكلون لحم الإبل فنزل يوماً على إخوة براقش فنحروا الجزور فراح ابنه من براقش إلى أبيه بعرق فأكله
