5 [التبس بِهِ also signifies He, or it, made it to be, or had it, as an accompaniment, or an adjunct.

For instance, it is said in the Mgh, art. توج, that in the phrase التَّمَاثِيلُ بِالتِيجَانِ “ the effigies with the crowns ” upon pieces of money, بالتيجان is used as a denotative of state, meaning مُلْتَبِسَةً بِالِتّيجَانِ and مَقْرُونَةً مَعَهَا accompanied with the crowns, as their attributes: and نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ “ we declare thy remoteness from evil, with the praising of Thee, ” in the Kur ii. 28, is explained by Bd and others as meaning, مُلْتَبِسِينَ بِحَمْدِكَ making the praising of Thee to be as an accompaniment, or an adjunct, to our doing that: and تَنْبُتُ بِٱلدُّهْنِ “ growing, with oil ”, in the same, xxiii. 20, as meaning, مُلْتَبِسًا
