وأما تفسيره للعلماء فجائز حسن والاجماع منعقد عليه فمن كان أهلا للتفسير جامعا للأدوات حتى التي يعرف بها معناه وغلب على ظنه المراد فسره
As for interpretation by scholars, it is permissible and good, and consensus is established on it. Whoever is qualified for interpretation, possessing the necessary tools — including those by which its meaning is known — and the intended meaning is most likely in their view, then they may interpret it.
بِهَا by them
The 'bi-' marks the means — 'by which' the meaning is known — and 'them' points back to the tools. Instrument-marking 'bi-' answers 'by what?': by these very tools.

The 'bi-' marks the means — 'by which' the meaning is known — 'them' pointing to the tools. Instrument-marking 'bi-' answers 'by what?'.

بِهَا in them
A preposition 'in/at' joined to an attached 'them', a feminine plural 'them' pointing back to his beauty and balance. The one word carries preposition and object, and the choice of this 'them' is how Arabic tracks that the referents are the qualities just named.

The purpose of mentioning them is to explain their states and morals, so that the seeker may emulate them.
بِهَا by them
A preposition 'by / with' carrying 'them' as an attached object, where 'them' points back to the states and morals, not to people. Tracking that the suffix reaches back to the qualities is part of reading the sentence.
والخيل المسومة يجول بها في حلبة العجب المغوار،
And the branded horses are paraded in the arena of the bold, showcasing pride,
بِهَا with them
The 'with' prefix is a preposition forcing the genitive on its attached pronoun, and that feminine pronoun points back to the horses, so it means 'with them'. Arabic fuses the preposition and its object into one word, and tracking which earlier noun the suffix refers to is part of reading the line.
وَبِهَا أرسل الرُّسُل وَأنزل الْكتب
And it was for this that He sent the messengers and revealed the books.
وَبِهَا and for it
This single word stacks the 'and' connector, the 'with/for' preposition, and the pronoun 'it'. The preposition puts the pronoun in its genitive form, and the pronoun points back to worship as the purpose, so the phrase means roughly 'and for the sake of it'.
وَهِي وَإِن كَانَت مَنْفَعَتهَا للْعَبد وَالله غَنِي عَنْهَا فَهِيَ لَهُ من جِهَة محبته لَهَا وَرضَاهُ بهَا
And even though its benefit is for the servant and Allah is self-sufficient from it, it is for Him in terms of His love for it and His approval of it.
بِهَا by it
The 'with/by' prefix is fused onto the pronoun 'it', held in the genitive by the preposition. The pronoun points back to worship, completing 'His approval of it', so the phrase ties God's pleasure to the act itself.
فصل وَهَذِه الْأَعْمَال الْبَاطِنَة كمحبة الله وَالْإِخْلَاص لَهُ والتوكل عَلَيْهِ وَالرِّضَا عَنهُ وَنَحْو ذَلِك كلهَا مَأْمُور بهَا فِي حق الْخَاصَّة والعامة

بِهَا with them
A preposition 'with/by' carrying 'them', 'with them', the 'them' pointing back to the inner actions. It attaches to the passive 'commanded' to show what is commanded, an idiom where this verb takes 'with'.

بِهَا in it
The preposition 'in' with a feminine 'it' ending, so the word means 'in it'. The attached pronoun reaches back to 'a sign', and being feminine is why this 'it' takes the feminine shape rather than the masculine one.
وَإِفْتِقَارَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ وَيَسْتَعِينُونَ بِهَا عَلَى أَهْوِيَتِهِمْ وَأَذْوَاقِهِمْ

بِهَا with it
A preposition 'with/by means of' fused to a feminine 'it' pronoun, 'by means of it', marking the instrument of the action. The attached pronoun points back to the feminine 'states' named earlier, not to the nearest noun. Tracking that referent is part of reading the clause.
قَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفًا دِرْهَمًا تَسْتَعِينُ بِهَا عَلَى مَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ
He said, "Forty thousand dirhams to help you with your present condition."

رَمَيْتُ بِهَا فِي التَنُّورِ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ
I threw her into the oven, and she burned.
بِهَا with her
This is the preposition bi- with the attached '-ha' (her). With this throwing verb, bi- is how the thing thrown is expressed: 'I threw with her' means 'I flung her'. So the preposition is the verb's grip on its object, not literal accompaniment; the pronoun names what was hurled.
فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِيَّ أُمًّا بَلَغَ بِهَا الْكِبَرُ،
He said, "I have a mother who has reached old age,"
بها with her
The bi- here teams with the 'reached' verb to mean 'reached her / came upon her', with the 'her' pronoun fused on. In this idiom the bi- makes the reaching land on her: old age overtook her. So it marks the mother as the one upon whom old age has arrived.
