Arabic vocabulary
ظَرْفٌ is how you say “circumstance” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
الرابع أنه قيد الفعل بالظرف وهو قوله ﴿يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ﴾
The fourth is that He specified the action with a time, which is His saying, 'The Day when secrets will be put to trial.'
بِالظَّرْفِ — with the condition. This fuses 'with/by' onto the noun 'the time-frame/adverbial', genitive after the preposition, made definite by 'the'. It marks the means of the restricting, 'with the time-word', i.e. He limited the action by attaching a time to it.
