Example sentence
يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إنَّك لَوْ أتَيْتنِي بِقُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا ثُمَّ لَقِيتنِي لَا تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا لَأَتَيْتُك بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً
O son of Adam! Were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, not associating anything with Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.
بِقُرَابِ with nearly as great as
The 'bi-' here means 'bringing with you,' and the noun means roughly an 'earth-ful' — a near-filling. It opens an 'of' phrase with the next word: almost as much as the earth itself.

O son of Adam! Were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, not associating anything with Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.
بِقُرَابِهَا with nearly as great as it
Echoing the earlier measure, this brings forgiveness 'as much as it,' the attached pronoun pointing back to that earth-ful of sins. The reply is shaped to match the supposition word for word: that many sins, that much pardon.
