مُخَالَفَةِthe opposition of

Example sentences

• فَلَّا يَكْتَرِثُ بِمُخَالَفَةِ النَّاكِبِينَ عَنْهُ لَهُ،

  So he does not care about the opposition of those who turn away from him to him.

  بِمُخَالَفَةِ — by the opposition of. The bi- on the front marks what the caring would be directed at ('about/by the opposition'); it is the specific link this verb of heeding takes. The word it rides is a verbal noun ('the opposing') that heads an 'of' pairing with the people named next. So bi- both governs that noun into the genitive and ties the whole 'opposition of...' phrase to the verb.
