The answer

The letter "باء" (baʼ) can carry the meaning of the circumstantial "in," as in the Almighty’s saying: "And indeed, you pass by them in the morning. And by night." (Qur’an 37:137-138); and "And Allah has already helped you at Badr" (Qur’an 3:123); and "We saved them at dawn" (Qur’an 54:34); and "their light will proceed before them and on their right" (Qur’an 57:12). As for the "باء" (baʼ) in "for indeed, you are in Our eyes" (Qur’an 52:48), it denotes accompaniment, meaning under Allah’s sight, protection, and care.
