in this spatial construction. It is itself a noun, not a particle, unlike fī (“in”), which is a particle. Accordingly, they use it of certain entities that subsist in themselves, saying, for example, “So-and-so is with so-and-so,” or “The money is with so-and-so.” This occurs in such statements of Allah Most High as:

“And with them will be women of restrained glances, with beautiful eyes.” (48) [Al-Sāffāt 48]

“Or do they possess the treasuries of your Lord? Or are they the controllers?” (37) [Al-Tūr 37]

“To Him belongs whoever is in the heavens and the earth. Those who are with Him are not too proud to worship Him, nor do they grow weary.” (19) [Al-Anbiyāʾ 19]

“But if they are arrogant, those who are with your Lord glorify Him night and day, and they never tire.” (38) [Fussilat 38]
