And their emergence is among the clearest evidence of the truthfulness of the Messengers and the difference between them and those false claimants.

وَبَيْنَهُمْ and them

The wa- completes the 'between' pair, fused to the preposition 'between' again and a plural pronoun, 'and between them'. Arabic typically repeats 'between' for the second side; the pronoun points to the other group.

From Signs of the Messenger in Medina

Its leaves were replaced by the ravens of parting, and they stood lamenting the traces,

الْبَيْنِ of the separation

From Preferring the Hereafter

يَقُول الله يَا ابْن آدم إِنَّمَا هِيَ ارْبَعْ وَاحِدَة لي وَوَاحِدَة لَك وَوَاحِدَة بيني وَبَيْنك وَوَاحِدَة بَيْنك وَبَين خلقي

Allah says, 'O son of Adam, there are four things: one for Me, one for you, one between Me and you, and one between you and My creation.'

Allah says, 'O son of Adam, there are four things: one for Me, one for you, one between Me and you, and one between you and My creation.'

وَبَيْنَكَ and between you

The 'and' prefix joins the second party to the 'between' relationship, and this 'between' fused with 'you' completes the pair. Arabic typically repeats 'between' before the second member, so the phrase reads 'between Me and between you'.

From Worship and Repentance

يَقُول الله يَا ابْن آدم إِنَّمَا هِيَ ارْبَعْ وَاحِدَة لي وَوَاحِدَة لَك وَوَاحِدَة بيني وَبَيْنك وَوَاحِدَة بَيْنك وَبَين خلقي

The crows of separation rose up and lamented the ruins.

الْبَيِِّنُ the separation
