Full Definition

أَشْرَكْتُهُIV I made him a شَرِيك [or copartner &c.] to me in the affair: and بَيْنَهُمْ فِى المَالِ [I made them copartners in the property; and شَرَّكَهُمْ, occurring in this art. 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 art. in the K]. وَأَشْرِكْهُ فِى أَمْرِى, in the Kur [xx. 33], means And make Thou him my شَرِيك [or copartner, or associate, or colleague,] in my affair. 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.
2 [Hence,] اشرك بِٱللّٰهِ He attributed to God a شَرِيك [or copartner &c.] in his dominion: [or he attributed to God شُرَكَآء i. e. copartners &c., such as the angels and the devils: i. e. he believed in a duality, or a plurality, of gods:] and [in a wider sense,] he disbelieved [or misbelieved] in God: syn. كَفَرَ: used in this latter sense because الكُفْرُ is not free from some kind of شِرْك.
