And if he had fabricated against Him, He would not have approved of him and would have hastened his destruction.
بِالْإِهْلَاكِ — his destruction. This fuses 'with/by' and 'the destruction', genitive after the preposition. It marks the means of the hastening: He would have rushed him with destruction. It links the verb to the instrument of the threatened punishment.
