Example sentences
قَالَ مَا الْمَسْئُولُ عَنْهَا بِأَعْلَمَ مِنْ السَّائِلِ
He said, 'The one being asked does not know more about it than the one asking.'
بِأَعْلَمَ — does not know more. A comparative form 'more knowing' carried by bi-, the preposition the negation 'is not' uses to attach its predicate. The word is the elative 'more...' pattern, so the sentence reads 'is not more knowing'. The bi- here is grammatical scaffolding for the negated comparison, not a literal 'with'.
