اختار آدم فغلبت القلوب بالحسد،
He chose Adam, and hearts were overwhelmed with envy.
بِالْحَسَدِ — with envy. A 'with' preposition is fused to the front, marking the cause or means, and it forces the noun into the 'of' ending. The 'the' makes envy definite, and the link frames it as what the hearts were overwhelmed by.
