, (L, K,) sec. pers. شَرِرْتَ, (S, Msb, K, MF,) aor. يَشَرُّ; (L, Msb, MF;) and sec. pers. شَرُرْتَ, (S accord. to some copies, L, Msb, K, MF,) aor. يَشُرُّ; (L, Msb, K, * MF;) and sec. pers. شَرَرْتَ, (S accord. to some copies, M, K, MF,) aor. يَشِرُّ; (M, K, MF;) of which three vars. the first is the best known; and the last is strange, and disallowed by most authorities; (MF;) inf. n. [of the first or third] شَرٌّ (S, K) and [of the first] شَرَرٌ (S) and [of the second or third] شَرَارَةٌ, (S, K,) and شِرَّةٌ also is an inf. n. [syn. with شَرٌّ]; (S;) He (a man) was, or became, evil, a wrongdoer, unjust, bad, corrupt, wicked, mischievous, vitious, or depraved. (S, * L, Msb, K, * &c.) The manner in which the K mentions شَرَّ with the two aors. يَشُرُّ and يَشِرُّ [only, omitting the most common aor., i. e. يَشَرُّ,] obviously demands consideration. (MF.) One says, شَرِرْتَ يَا رَجُلُ [Thou hast been evil, or a wrongdoer, &c., O man], (S, K,) and so شَرُرْتَ and شَرَرْتَ. (S accord. to different copies, and K.) ― -b2- شَرَّ, aor. يَشَرُّ, also signifies He increased in evil, wrongdoing, &c. (L.) It is said in a prov., كُلَّمَا تَكْبَرُ تَشَرُّ [In proportion as thou growest old, thou increasest in evil, &c.].

(O, K, * TA. [See also 4.]) One says, مَا قُلْتُ ذَاكَ لِشُرِّكَ وَإِنَّمَا قُلْتُةُ لِغَيْرِ شُرِّكَ I said not that to find fault with thee, but I only said it for a different purpose than that of finding fault with thee: (S, TA:) or this has a different meaning, which see below, voce شُرٌّ. (TA.) One says also, قَدْ قَبِلْتُ عَطِيَّتَكَ ثُمَّ رَدَدْتُهَا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ شُرِّكَ وَلَا ضُرِّكَ, meaning [I have accepted thy gift; then I have given it back to thee] without rejecting it to thee or blaming thee [and without injuring thee].

(TA.) And [hence,] شَرَّهُ, (S, K,) aor. يَشُرُّ. (S,) inf. n. شَرٌّ; (S, K;) and ↓ اشرّهُ, (K,) inf. n. إِشْرَارٌ; (TA;) and ↓ شرّرهُ, (K,) inf. n. as above; (TA;) and شَرَّاهُ [or شَرَاهُ without tesh-deed?]; (K;) He put it (i. e. [the preparation of curd called] أَقْط, and flesh-meat, S, K, and the like, and salt, S, and a garment, or piece of cloth, and the like, K) upon a خَصَفَة, (S, K,) i. e. a mat, (TA,) or some other thing, (K,) to dry. (S, K.) And شرّهُ He sprinkled it; namely, salt. (R, MF.)

[See also 1.]) ― -b2- أَشَرُّوهُ They banished him, or drove him away, and caused him to be alone. (TA.) -A2- See also 1, latter part, in two places. ― -b2- [Hence, app.,] اشرّهُ signifies also (tropical:) He manifested it, revealed it, published it, or made it known. (S, A, K.) Thus in a verse of Imra-el-Keys, where he says, لَوْ يُشِرُّونَ مَقْتَلِى (assumed tropical:) [that they might publish, or make known, my slaughter]; as related by As; but it is better with س. (S.) -A3- مَا أَشَرَّهُ, and ↓ مَا شَرَّهُ, [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.)

It is said in a trad., in a form of prayer, (TA,) used by the Prophet, (Msb,) وَالخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ بِيَدَيْكَ وَالشَّرُّ لَيْسَ إِلَيْكَ, (Msb, * TA,) meaning [And all good is in thy hands, and evil i. e.] wrongdoing, or injustice, or corruptness, is not imputable to Thee: (Msb, TA:) or evil is not a means of advancement in thy favour, or of obtaining thine approval: or evil speech does not ascend to Thee.

And [using the dim. form of شَرٌّ,] you say, مِنْكَ ↓ هُوَ شُرَيْرٌ [He is a little worse, &c., than thou]. (Ibn-Buzurj, TA in art. خير. [See خَيْرٌ.]) -A2- مَا شَرَّ for مَا أَشَرَّ: see 4.
