Example sentences
ويستدعي معرفة حسنة بالتفسير وإكثارا من حكايات الفقراء والزهاد
It requires good understanding of interpretation and an abundance of stories about the poor and ascetics.
بِالتَّفْسِيرِ — of interpretation. The 'bi-' here completes a fixed pairing: 'acquaintance WITH / knowing OF' a subject. Knowing in Arabic often takes its object through this preposition rather than directly, so 'understanding of interpretation' is built as 'knowing-with interpretation'. It forces the genitive on the next noun.
