Example sentences

• وَكَمْ مِنْ كَلِمَةٍ تَدُورُ عَلَى الْأَلْسِنِ مَثَلًا جَاءَ الْقُرْآنُ بِالْخَصِّ مِنْهَا وَأَحْسَنَ

  And how many phrases circulate on the tongues as an example, which the Quran has refined and improved.

  بِالْخَاصِّ — with the refined. This is the preposition 'with, by' merged with 'the choice, refined version' (definite via 'al-'). The verb 'came' plus 'with' means 'brought', so 'came with the refined' is idiomatic for 'brought the refined form'. The preposition forces a genitive on the noun.
