The word(s) "by" appears 450 time(s) in 398 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(131) He it is Who makes you travel by land and sea; until when you are in the ships, and they sail on with them in a pleasant breeze, and they rejoice, a violent wind overtakes them and the billows surge in on them from all sides, and they become certain that they are encompassed about, they pray to Allah, being sincere to Him in obedience: If Thou dost deliver us from this, we will most certainly be of the grateful ones.

(132) The likeness of this world's life is only as water which We send down from the cloud, then the herbage of the earth of which men and cattle eat grows luxuriantly thereby, until when the earth puts on its golden raiment and it becomes garnished, and its people think that they have power over it, Our command comes to it, by night or by day, so We render it as reaped seed; produce, as though it had not been in existence yesterday; thus do We make clear the communications for a people who reflect.

(133) And this Quran is not such as could be forged by those besides Allah, but it is a verification of that which is before it and a clear explanation of the book, there is no doubt in it, from the Lord of the worlds.

(134) Say: Tell me if His punishment overtakes you by night or by day! what then is there of it that the guilty would hasten on?

(135) And they ask you: Is that true? Say: Aye! by my Lord! it is most surely the truth, and you will not escape.

(136) And recite to them the story of Nuh when he said to his people: O my people! if my stay and my reminding (you) by the communications of Allah is hard on you-- yet on Allah do I rely-- then resolve upon your affair and (gather) your associates, then let not your affair remain dubious to you, then have it executed against me and give me no respite:

(137) And Allah will show the truth to be the truth by His words, though the guilty may be averse (to it).

(138) And do Thou deliver us by Thy mercy from the unbelieving people.

(139) And it is not for a soul to believe except by Allah's permission; and He casts uncleanness on those who will not understand.

(140) Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is revealed to you and your breast will become straitened by it because they say: Why has not a treasure been sent down upon him or an angel come with him? You are only a warner; and Allah is custodian over all things.
