بِكُلِّby everything

Example sentences

• يَبْطُلُ التيممُ بكل ما يُبْطِلُ الوضوءَ،

  Tayammum becomes invalid by everything that invalidates ablution.

  بِكُلِّ — by everything. The 'bi-' marks the cause — 'by every...' — and 'kull' heads an 'of' phrase meaning 'all of.' Together: voided by every single thing that, as the relative next says, voids ablution.

• وَأَنَّهُ لَيَزَاوِلُهُ بِكُلِّ حِيلَةٍ

  And that he will assail him with every trick.

  بِكُلِّ — with every. The prefix bi- here marks the means, 'with', and forces the following noun into the (genitive); it is paired with 'every' to build 'with every'. So it sets up the instrument of the assailing. It governs the noun that completes 'with every trick'.
