• وإن تعانى سرقة الأجزاء ، أو كشط الأوقاف ، فهذا لص بسمت محدث ،

  And if he engages in stealing parts or scraping endowments, then he is a thief in the guise of a narrator,

  بِسِمَةِ — in the guise of. The prefix bi- 'with, in' opens the word and forces the following noun into the possessed ending: 'in the guise of'. It also heads a possessive pairing with the next word, owning it, so it links the thief to the appearance he wears.
