, (S, MA, Mgh, Msb,) verbal noun مُسَاهَمَةٌ, (Msb,) He shot arrows [سِهَام] with him [in competition]. (MA.)

[And hence,] He cast, or drew, lots [or more properly arrows for sortilege, as explained in the PS,] with him; practised sortilege [or sortilege with arrows] with him; or competed with him in doing so. (S, MA, Mgh, Msb.) You say, ↓ سَاهَمْتُهُ فَسَهَمْتُهُ; (S;) or سَاهَمَهُمْ فَسَهَمَهُمْ; (TA;) aorist of the latter verb سَهَمَ , (S,) and verbal noun سَهْمٌ; (TA;) I competed with him in casting, or drawing, lots [or arrows for sortilege] or in practising sortilege [or sortilege with arrows] with him, and overcame him therein; or He did so with them, and overcame them therein.

[And hence, He shared with him, فِى كَذَا in such a thing. See an example voce مُشِدٌّ, and another voce نَاوَبَ.

And apparently He contended with him for a thing: see 6.]
