Full Definition

اشعرهُIV He made him to know. You say, اشعرهُ بِالأَمْرِ and الأَمْرَ, the latter of which is less usual than the former, because one says شَعَرَ بِهِ but not شَعَرَهُ, He aquainted him with the affair; made him to know it. And أَشْعَرْتُ أَمْرَ فَلَانٍ I made known the affair of such a one. And أَشْعَرْتُ فُلَانًا I made such a one notorious for an evil deed or quality.
2 Also, (Verbal.Noun إِشْعَارٌ, Msb,) He marked it, namely a beast destined for sacrifice at Mekkeh, by stabbing it in the right side of its hump so that blood flowed from it, or by making a slit in its skin, or by stabbing it in one side of its hump with a مِبْضَع or the like, so that the blood appeared, or by making an incision in its hump so that the blood flowed, in order that it might be known to be destined for sacrifice.

It is said in a trad. respecting the assassination of 'Othmán, أَشْعَرَهُ مِشْقَصًا He wounded him so as to cause blood to come with a مشقص [q. v.]: and in another trad., أَشْعِرَ أَمِيرُ المُؤْمِنِينَ [The Prince of the Faithful was wounded so that blood came from him].
4 And He pierced him with a spear so as to make the spearhead enter his inside: and اشعرهُ سِنَانًا he made the spear-head to enter into the midst of him: [but this is said to be] from اشعرهُ بِهِ “ he made it to cleave to it. ” أَشْعِرَ is said specially of a king, meaning He was slain.
5 Also He made it to be a distinguishing sign: as when the performance of a religious service is made, or appointed, by God to be a sign [whereby his religion is distinguished].
