Example sentence

أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ ذَلِكُمْ

Shall I tell you of something better than that?

بِخَيْرٍ of better

The preposition bi- ('of/about') fused onto an indefinite noun, idiomatically 'of something better'. The bi- governs the noun into its genitive role and links the informing to its content — what the better thing is. This verb regularly takes its topic introduced by bi-, which is why 'better' appears with it.

خَيْرٍ good

An indefinite noun standing as the second term of the 'every X' pairing, so it sits in the genitive after the quantifier. Being indefinite and singular here, it lets 'every good' range over each separate good thing rather than one specific one.
