الشركة والمشاركة: خلط الملكين، وقيل:
قوله تعالى: ﴿جعلا له شركاء﴾ [الأعراف: 190] قرئ شركاء وشركا فالشرك يقال بمعنى الشريك، وبمعنى النصيب وفي التفسير أن إبليس عيرهما حين سمياه عبد الحارث وكان عبد الله في قصة ذكروها لا تصح عن مثل أبوينا، وإن صحت فمن ذرتيهما، لا منهما وجمعه أشراك، وأنشد للبيد: [من الوافر]
"Ye do call upon me
To blaspheme against God,
And to join with Him
Partners of whom I have
No knowledge; and I
Call you to the Exalted
In Power, Who forgives
Again and again!"
God is He, than Whom
There is no other god;—
The Sovereign, the Holy One,
The Source of Peace
(and Perfection),
The Guardian of Faith,
The Preserver of Safety,
The Exalted in Might,
The Irresistible, the Supreme:
Glory to God!
(High is He)
Above the partners
They attribute to Him.
O Prophet!
When believing women come
To thee to take the oath
Of fealty to thee, that they
Will not associate in worship
Any other thing whatever
With God, that they
Will not steal, that they
Will not commit adultery
(Or fornication), that they
Will not kill their children,
That they will not utter
Slander, intentionally forging
Falsehood, and that they
Will not disobey thee
In any just matter,
Then do thou receive
Their fealty, and pray to God
For the forgiveness (of
Their sins): for God is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
