The fifth word of verse (4:86) is divided into 2 morphological segments. A preposition and noun. The prefixed preposition bi is usually translated as "with" or "by". The noun is masculine singular and is in the genitive case (مجرور). The case marker is a fatḥah instead of a kasrah because the noun is a diptote (ممنوع من الصرف). The noun's triliteral root is ḥā sīn nūn (ح س ن). Together the segments form a preposition phrase known as jār wa majrūr (جار ومجرور).
