  بِالْجَنَّةِ — of Paradise. This is a 'with/of' preposition fused directly onto a definite noun, naming what the glad tidings are about and forcing that noun into its oblique ending. Verbs of announcing in Arabic team up with this little preposition to point at their content, so the good news and its subject (Paradise) are joined by the prefix rather than by a separate word.
