Example sentences
فَلْيُعَاقِبْنَ بِنَقِيضِ قَصْدِهِ ،
So let them punish him with the opposite of his intention.
بِنَقِيضِ — with opposite of. Here 'bi-' is a preposition fused to the noun, marking the means or instrument 'by which' the punishing is carried out. It forces the 'of...' (genitive) ending on the noun, and that noun heads a possessive pairing with the next word, so it stays without its own 'the'.
