• فإما أن تتجر فيها بطاعة فتربح، وإما أن تتجر فيها بمعصية فتخسر

  So either you trade in it with obedience and profit, or you trade in it with disobedience and lose.

  بِمَعْصِيَةٍ — with disobedience. The bi- marks the means again, here trading by way of disobedience. The noun is the object of that preposition, so it takes the possessive case, and with no 'the' it stays indefinite.
