بِيَدِهِby His hand

Example sentences

• فقال رسول الله والذي نفسي بيده لو تدومون على ما تكونون عندي وفي الذكر لصافحتكم الملائكة على فرشكم وفي طرقكم، ولكن يا حنظلة ساعة وساعة ثلاث مرات،

  The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, if you remained in the state that you are with me and in remembrance, the angels would shake hands with you in your beds and on your paths. But, O Hanzala, a time and a time.' He repeated this three times.

  بِيَدِهِ — in His Hand. This is 'in' plus 'hand' plus 'his' — 'in His hand', the predicate of 'in whose hand is my soul', a metaphor for God's total control. The 'bi-' here carries the 'in', and the genitive follows. So the oath is by the One who holds the speaker's very life.

  بِيَدِهِ — in his hand. The bi- here sets up location, placing the soul inside the hand, and it forces the following noun into the 'of' (genitive) shape. The trailing -hi reaches back to 'the One' sworn by, so the chain reads 'in His hand' as one tight unit.

  بِيَدِهِ — by his hand. This fuses the preposition 'by/with' to a noun carrying the owner-ending 'his', so one word means 'by his hand'. With the verb 'seized', the preposition marks the means of grabbing. The attached 'his' points back to the man leapt upon.

  بِيَدِهِ — with His hand. The preposition bi- 'with' fused to a noun carrying a 'his' pronoun, all in one word. Bi- marks the means of the creating and forces the genitive, while the attached 'his' ties the hand back to God, the subject named just before.
