بِصُورَتِهِin his outward appearance

Example sentences

• فاسدة كان عمله تابعًا لسريرته لا اعتبار بصورته فتبدو سريرته على وجهه سوادا وظلمة وشينا

  His deeds were corrupt, following his inner self; no regard was paid to his outward appearance, so his inner state appeared on his face as blackness, darkness, and ugliness.

  بِصُورَتِهِ — in his outward appearance. The bi- here marks the object of the denied regard, what no account is taken 'of', namely the outward appearance. It pulls the following noun into the genitive, and the attached '-his' on that noun names its owner, so the bi-phrase completes 'no regard for his appearance'.
