Full Definition

اشرّهُIV He attributed, or imputed, to him evil, wrongdoing, injustice, or the like: but some disallow this.
2 أَشَرُّوهُ They banished him, or drove him away, and caused him to be alone.

def.2 See also 1, latter part, in two places.
2 [Hence, app.,] اشرّهُ signifies also He manifested it, revealed it, published it, or made it known. Thus in a verse of Imra-el-Keys, where he says, لَوْ يُشِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى [that they might publish, or make known, my slaughter]; as related by As; but it is better with س.

def.3 مَا أَشَرَّهُ, and مَا , [the latter of which is extr. with respect to form, but more commonly used than the former, meaning How evil, wrongdoing, unjust, bad, corrupt, wicked, mischievous, vitious, or depraved, is he!] phrases similar to مَا أَخْيَرَهُ and مَا خَيْرَهُ [which have the contr. meaning]. (TA in art. خير.)
