أَشْرَكْتُهُ فِى الأَمْرِ
1.
I made him a
شَرِيك [or copartner &c.] to me in the affair: and
شَرَّكْتُ
بَيْنَهُمْ فِى المَالِ [I made them copartners in the property; and شَرَّكَهُمْ, occurring in this article in the TA, on the authority of Esh-Sháfi'ee, means, in like manner, he made them copartners; and أَشْرَكَ بَيْنَهُمْ is used in this sense in the present article in the K]. (Msb.) وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِى أَمْرِى, in the Qur'an, 20:33, means And make Thou him my
شَرِيك [or copartner, or associate, or colleague,] in my affair. (S.) And one says also, اشركهُ مَعَهُ فِى
الأَمْرِ
He made him to enter [or engage] with him in the affair: and اشرك فُلَانًا فِى البَيْعِ
He made such a one to enter [or share] with him in the sale or purchase. (TA.)
2.
[Hence,] اشرك بِاللّٰهِ
He attributed to God a
شَرِيك [or copartner &c.] (Mgh, TA) in his dominion: (TA:) [or he attributed to God
شُرَكَاء i. e. copartners &c., such as the angels and the devils: (see Qur'an, 6:100, &c., and any of the expositions thereof:) i. e. he believed in a duality, or a plurality, of gods:] and [in a wider sense,] he disbelieved [or misbelieved] in God: synonym كَفَرَ: (S, * Msb, K, TA:) used in this latter sense because الكُفْرُ is not free from some kind of شِرْك. (Kull p. 49.)
