ثم المفسرون برأيهم من غير دليل صحيح
Then there are those who interpret by their own opinion without valid evidence.
بِرَأْيِهِمْ by their own opinion
The 'bi-' marks the means they go by — 'their own opinion,' with 'their' attached. It flags the very flaw under discussion: interpreting from personal view rather than evidence, as the next phrase stresses.
قلت نكون عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يذكرنا بالجنة والنار كأنا رأي عين،
I said: 'When we are with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, he reminds us of Paradise and Hell as if we see them with our own eyes.'
رَأْيَ seen with
This is a verbal noun 'seeing', in the accusative, heading a tight phrase 'seeing of an eye' — the idiom for 'with one's own eyes, plainly'. The accusative works adverbially: as if by direct eyewitness sight. It owns the noun to come.
قلت يا رسول الله نكون عندك تذكرنا بالنار والجنة كأنا رأي العين،
I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, when we are with you, you remind us of Hell and Paradise as if we see them with our own eyes.'
رَأْيَ seen with
A verbal noun 'seeing', in the adverbial accusative, heading 'seeing of the eye' — the idiom for 'with one's very eyes, plainly'. The accusative works adverbially: as though by direct sight. It owns the noun to come.
فإن برعت في الأصول وتوابعها من المنطق والحكمة والفلسفة، وآراء الأوائل ومجازات العقول،
So if you excel in the fundamentals and their appendages of logic, wisdom, philosophy, and the views of the ancients and the metaphors of minds,
وَآرَاءِ and the views of
The conjunction adds a noun, views-of, in the genitive and the head of a possessive pairing owning the next word. The list now shifts to chained genitives, 'the views of the ancients', built by adjacency.
