• لله سُبْحَانَهُ على عَبده أَمر أمره بِهِ

  To Allah, glory be to Him, belongs a command He has given to His servant.

  بِهِ — with it. 'With/by it', the preposition fused with 'it', pointing back to the command. The verb 'order' takes this 'bi-' to mark what was enjoined, so the phrase is 'which He enjoined upon him'.

  And that He did not speak it, but rather he said it from himself.

  بِهِ — it. A 'with/by' prefix fused to an 'it' ending, 'with it', referring to the speech. The suffix marks the thing not spoken; Arabic attaches the pronoun directly to the preposition.

• وَقَوْلُهُمْ مَنْ جَهِلَ شَيْئًا عَادَاهُ، مَذْكُورٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِمَا لَمْ يُحِيطُوا بِعِلْمِهِ وَإِذْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُوا بِهِ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هَذَا إِفْكٌ قَدِيمٌ

  And their saying: 'Whoever is ignorant of something, opposes it' is mentioned in His saying: 'But they denied that which they did not encompass in knowledge, and when they have not been guided by it, they will say: This is an ancient falsehood.'

  بِهِ — by it. This is the preposition 'by, with' carrying the attached 'it', marking the means of the guidance, what they were not guided by. The suffix points back to the thing earlier denied. The preposition links the verb to its instrument.
