• فَغَضِبْتُ لِقَوْلِهَا وَحَمَلْتُهَا بِسُكْرَى وَرَمَيْتُ بِهَا فِي التَّنُّورِ

  I became angry at what she said, I carried her while she was intoxicated, and I threw her into the oven.

  بِهَا — with her. This is the preposition bi- with the attached '-ha' (her). Paired with this throwing verb, bi- is the way Arabic carries its object: 'I threw with her' is the idiom for 'I flung her'. So the preposition is not optional colour here; it is how this particular verb grips the thing thrown.

• فَسَبَّتْهَا،

  هَا — her. An object pronoun glued onto the end of the verb, pointing to a single female 'her' as the one acted upon. Arabic attaches the receiver of the action directly to the verb as a suffix, so one written word holds both the deed and its target.

  لَهَا — for it. The li- prefix marks the one it serves ('for'), with a feminine 'it' attached pointing back to the soul/mount. The preposition governs the genitive, so 'for it' frames whom patience aids.
