Example sentences
فَكَذَلِكَ هِيَ هُنَاكَ ﴿وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ﴾
So that is how it is there, and your Lord is not unjust to the servants.
بِظَلَّامٍ — in being unjust. The bi- on the front is doing emphatic work inside a negation here: in Arabic this 'with/in' preposition is added to the predicate after a denial to strengthen it, so the sense is 'in no way unjust'. The noun it attaches to is the quality being firmly denied of the Lord.
