بِأَنْوَاعِ — with different types of. bi- = 'with'; anwa means 'types, kinds' (plural) — heading an 'of…' phrase with the next word; the noun after 'bi'.
From: Seeds and Streams of Deeds →بَلْ كَيْفَ يَلِيقُ بِهِ أَنْ يُصَدِّقَهُ بِأَنْوَاعِ التَّصْدِيقِ كُلِّهَا فَيُصَدِّقَهُ بِإِقْرَارِهِ وَبِالْآيَاتِ الْمُسْتَلْزِمَةِ لِصِدْقِهِ الَّتِي دَلَالَتُهَا عَلَى التَّصْدِيقِ كَدَلَالَةِ التَّصْدِيقِ بِالْقَوْلِ،
Rather, how can it befit Him to endorse him with all types of confirmations, affirming him by acknowledging him with signs that necessitate his truthfulness, whose implications for confirmation are like confirmation by word.
بِأَنْوَاعِ — with all types of. This fuses 'with/by' and the noun 'kinds/types', the front of an 'of' pair, 'kinds of confirmation', genitive after the preposition. The preposition marks the means of the endorsing; the noun owns the genitive after it.
From: Proof of the True Messenger →بل كيف يليق به أن يصدقه بأنواع التصديق كلها
Rather, how can it befit Him to confirm him with all types of affirmation?
بِأَنْوَاعِ — with types. The preposition 'bi-' here marks the means by which the confirming happens and takes the genitive, the noun heading a possessive pairing, 'with kinds of'. So 'bi-' answers 'by what', linking the confirming to its varieties.
From: False Prophets →وَأَصْحَابُ هَذِهِ الْحَالِ أَنْوَاعٌ شَتَّى
And the people in this state are of many different kinds.
أَنْوَاعٌ — kinds. An indefinite plural noun in the nominative serving as the predicate, 'are kinds'. It says what the people are, namely many sorts, and being indefinite it leaves the variety open rather than naming a fixed set.
