Example sentences
فَقَالَ لِأُمْيَّةَ اِنْظُرْ لِيَّ سَاعَةَ خَلْوَةِ لَعَلَّيَ أَنْ أَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ
He said to Umayya, "Find for me a time of seclusion; perhaps I may circumambulate the House."
بِالْبَيْتِ — around the House. The bi- here ties the circling to its object — going around *it* — and the al- makes that object definite. The bi- also forces the noun into the 'of' (genitive) shape; together they name the sacred House circled.
